A voyaging 4 minute journey through gothic waltzes and careening high-stakes art-rock, ‘Come To Me’ finds Ideal Living whole-heartedly embracing their penchant for dramatic musical storytelling. Produced by Ben Hampson (Lambrini Girls, Ditz) at Agricultural studios, the track narrates an opening chapter in the EP’s wider narrative - to be expanded further with a short film and full-length novel.
Sung from the viewpoint of a nameless narrator, ‘Come to Me’ tells of how their struggles to deal with modern life are tempered when they find that special other who helps them make sense of the human experience, as frontman and band founder Billy Marsh explains:
“Come to Me’ opens our story, and introduces the plot’s two nameless characters. Quoting the novel’s narrator, the track serves as a dramatic monologue, marking the moment where our protagonist has found that special someone who helps them understand the world, who they can come too whether happy or sad, after going too long through life suffering from its chaos”
