Symphony Of Sweden returns with a bold sonic shift in its brand-new single, "Get Lost In The Feeling".
With this track, the band invites listeners to break free from whatever holds them back and embrace the power of being unapologetically themselves. "It's about cutting ties with everything that's keeping you from being your true self", says lead vocalist Lee. "Be brave enough to go your own way".
Musically, "Get Lost In The Feeling" is a return to the band's classic rock roots, layered with a pulse-pounding "four-on-the-floor" rhythm that feels as energizing as it is defiant. "We wanted to make an uptempo song with a positive, slightly crazy vibe", says Evan, the band's keyboardist and producer. "Our last single leaned into electronic elements, but this time we wanted to show fans we haven't left our origins behind. This one's a wild ride".
While the track radiated good energy, the production process was anything but simple. "We did a thousand versions of this one", Evan admits. "But the moment we brought our live lineup into the studio - with Bullen on drums, Erik Arkö making his studio debut on bass, and Henrik laying down guitar - the pieces finally fell into place". Henrik's contributions earned him a songwriting credit for crafting the explosive middle-eight section.
Lee elaborates on the songwriting process, which often begins with a spark of melody. "They come to me fast, usually in seconds", he shares. "But the lyrics - they need more time. If I'm not telling a personal story, I want to inspire. There are so many people afraid to speak their mind, to go their own way. I want them to know they're not alone."
Despite its upbeat energy, the band insists this isn't dance music, though it might make your heart race like it is. "We wanted that danceable rhythm but without making it feel like a club track", Evan says. "It was a tough balance, but I think we nailed it."
For fans, the single marks a unique blend of the old and new. "It's like a bridge between our last release and our earlier sound", Lee reflects. "We love to mix it up - to explore, evolve, and still stay true to who we are."
So, what's next for Symphony of Sweden? "We're hunkering down this summer to finish a new album", Evan teases. "So, while live shows may be few for now, we're laying the groundwork for something big - hopefully a full return to the stage in late 2025 and beyond."
In the meantime, the band invites you to do exactly what the title says: Get lost in the feeling. Link
