He’s delivered something truly beautiful on “Anymore”, and if for some reason this is your introduction to the artist, we confidently feel it’s an ideal place to start your fanship.
Considering he’s been writing songs since he was a teen and had a vast love for music since childhood, it’s no surprise that the end product nowadays is as good as it is. Speaking directly on “Anymore”, Philip instantly tears at the listener’s heartstrings with a beyond delicate instrumental that features pristine fiddle playing and atmospheric overtones that set the stage for his dynamic vocals. While everything in the background sets the scene for the themes and lyricism that surround, there’s no doubt in our minds that the most captivating thing about the track is hearing him sing. You’ll find an unparalleled warmth within his cadence and it’s almost as if he’s giving you a big hug with his voice. We promise, it’ll all make sense when you start your initial listen.
On the background of the song, Philip has stated, “the song is about the tides of life and how sometimes it doesn’t seem like things will ever get better, or that pain is always on the horizon”.
