California-based singer-songwriter Frankie Bird releases new single, “When We Were Young.”
Simultaneously breezy and wistful, “When We Were Young” explores the consequences that come in the wake of mixing music, love, and business; a tumultuous situation she endured firsthand. It’s a track that yearns for simpler times, arriving alongside a video that invokes nostalgia for the summer days – and the people you shared them with – that live in your mind long after you’ve experienced them.
Frankie Bird said this about the song:
When We Were Young is about the fallout of a relationship and friendship I had after mixing music, love and business; the first card to fall in my house of cards after building everything together and all the repercussions I faced when I was warned not to mix worlds.
It’s about not knowing if you’ll ever get back what you had before you were romantic, when you were just best friends and none of the complications of business got in the way. Wishing you could go back to simpler times when you were young and free.
