Brighton via Aberdeen-formed trio The Xcerts have today shared their brilliant new single in your eyes. A soft, tender piece at its core, the track steadily gathers momentum before blossoming into a cathartic finale, where a surge of instruments swells into a powerful rush of energy. Speaking about the track, Macleod says: "in your eyes” is without question the most raw and personal song we’ve ever written. Fundamentally, it’s about loss. The loss of what I deemed to be forever love and the cruelty of cancer. The closing lines of the song are ‘this isn’t goodbye, this is I’ll love you forever’ which serves as a full stop but also has an open-ended feel to it. It’s a desperate grieving cry, but while writing the words, I also thought, well, if this is the last thing we ever create then that’s the message I want to ring out in Jordan, Tom and our fan base’ ears. I’m aware it’s overly sincere, but it’s true, and the truth is all we wanted to convey. The song finishes with Jordan’s mum blowing a kiss and saying “I love you” which is extremely emotional, but it was important for her to close out this song as it belongs to her." Take a listen below.
