Alexander Stewart is here with his brand new single, “Life at First Sight”! The song, written as a surprise for his sister’s wedding, is a heartfelt love song about an enlightening, fulfilling relationship. He sets the stage for the song in the first verse, explaining that he “never thought [he’d] have a reason to put somebody else first.” He was lost in the world until he found his love, and soon enough, he had found his missing piece. In the chorus, he is embracing his lover to bring his life to life. Alexander is grateful to be by his lover’s side everyday, and he looks forward to growing old together. Now, they’re dancing in the kitchen, leaving the dirty dishes for later, and living their life in the moment. He knows they’ll reminisce on this time “when there’s lines on [their] skin”, but will always have that spark between them.
“Life at First Sight” is a beautifully emotional and vulnerable love song that deviates from Alexander’s normal sound. Much of his previous are devastating recounts of the heartbreak and difficult times he’s experienced in his life, while this song is an sentimental and heartfelt take on love. The instrumentation is raw and organic, just featuring his vocals and an acoustic guitar for a good portion of the song. In the second verse, a delicate drum beat is added to reinforce that slow dance feeling. His vocals are smooth and emotional-filled, and they effortlessly highlight the high points of the song. This song doesn’t have a complex production, but it doesn’t need to - the lyrics speak for themselves.
