Today, LA-based singer, songwriter and musician, David Franklin Courtright, is releasing his debut single "Feels."
This dream pop tune was written in 2018 at Courtright's former studio in Brooklyn. He recalls, "This is one of those songs that hardly feels like a song—just two chords, but it developed and became a real favorite. It’s about being so in love with someone but questioning how real the love is or if the other person has the same intensity of feeling. I think it’s a question one can ask forever in a relationship. Is this real? Is your love real? It feels real but what if it all just falls apart. But I think it’s important to ask the questions, even if the answer is nebulous." The track features Julianna Barwick, who "came all the way out to Venice to put those incredible vocals on," Courtright recalls.
The single is being released alongside a video. "I shot the video for “Feels” outside of Torino, Italy, at my friend Riccardo’s 200 year old house made of chestnut trunks and huge slabs of granite from the forest," Courtright remembers. "It’s outside the town of Ceres, which is the last town on the train line, and then it’s another 30-minute hike up to the house, which is called Aran (meaning orange). High on the mountain above is a chapel built straight into the solid mountain rock in 1440, the Santuario di Santa Cristina. We shot most of the film up there, and the dancing sequences with my friend Dharma the husky, I shot myself by perching my camera up on the monastery walls and using my iphone to shoot the closer-up shots. Aran is one of my favorite places in the world and is a site of a lot of healing for me so I love getting to share the jaw-dropping grandeur and beauty of the place." |
