Joe & the Anchor: Indie-Pop Band Release New Piano Ballad “Leaving You Now”
The Indie-pop band Joe & The Anchor release their new piano ballad “Leaving You Now” – a song about an emotional breakup and talked about you experienced your first love. It also talks about the first break-up and before you realize it, there is nothing left in the relationship worth fighting for.
I had the chance to join their online interview with some of the bloggers here in the Philippines and they’re really jamming with us and excited to answer all our questions. They also share some of their new songs and listen to them live!
One of the hit songs they play is “Leaving You Now” which has been with them for a long time. We’ve all been in that situation when the first real love of your life turns into your first heartbreak. We tried to really capture that feeling when we wrote this song” – says JATA.
The single “Leaving You Now” is the second one from their upcoming album ‘Coming of Age’ which explores the feelings of being growing up, being in love and being fragile in life, and taking things for granted. They have their ups and downs in life and watch out for the band as they develop their songs into a full-length album that will be released during the spring of 2022.
Check the lyrics of the song “Leaving You Now”
V1:
Why Am I, Still Caving In
Why Can’t I, Get Rid Of It,
Our Long Nights I’m Thinking About You,
Maybe If, I Didn’t Know,
Just How Much It Hurts To Go,
I Could Have Put This Behind Me
Chorus:
Cause Baby I Don’t Know What To Say,
Cause I Know I’m Losing Any Way,
But I’m Just So Tired Of, This Enemy Inside,
So Darling, I’m Leaving You Now
V2:
Why Am I, Back Here Again
Why Can’t I, Just Let Her In,
My Long Nights Without You Beside Me, Oh No
Why Can’t I, Make Up My Mind,
Always Leaving You Behind,
Still I Keep Thinking About You
Chorus:
Cause Baby I Don’t Know What To Say,
Cause I Know I’m Losing Any Way,
But I’m Just So Tired Of, This Enemy Inside,
So Darling, I’m Leaving You Now
Cause Baby I Don’t Know What To Say,
Cause I Know I’ll Lose You Any Way,
But I’m Just So Tired Of, This Enemy Inside,
So Darling, I’m Leaving You Now
Darling, I’m Leaving You Now
Darling, I’m Leaving You Now
Know more about JOE & THE ANCHOR
Joe & The Anchor is formed by childhood friends JOAKIM ROSENLUND, ROBIN ZHANG, VIKTOR EDSJÖ, RUBEN SONESSON from Malmö, Sweden. With their own sound and a distinct image, they produce modern, guitar-driven indie pop which resembles a mixture of LANY and The 1975 with inspiration from the timelessness of greats such as Fleetwood Mac and Del Amitri.
Everything they produce – music, videos, graphic designs etc. – they do independently and together as a band.
Earlier this year they released their EP ‘Blue’ which was a huge milestone for the band. It helped them gain their incredibly supportive fan base called ‘Sailors’ and recognition abroad. The EP got plays from one of Philippines largest radio station “Wish 107.5” and the track‘ Wait On Me’ debuted #3 on the US based internet radio show “Pop Smash” Radios weekly top 10 with 892K votes (it was on the top 10 for 6 weeks).
The incredibly high votes show how engaged and supportive their fan base ‘Sailors’ is! The band also played Sweden’s largest digital festival ‘Låt Live Leva’ as well as for TEDx (watch snippets of both performances here).
