Something’s switched in Swim Deep. In the space of two years, they’ve gone from everyday escapists to big thinkers. ‘One Great Song And I Could Change The World’ is the definition of tongue-in-cheek – from title to snappy synth solo, it’s a a risk-taker with one foot on Planet Earth – but it’s just a hint of where this five-piece are heading.
Like with the severe turn ‘To My Brother’, this is a bolshy, focus-shifting song possessing one simple message: Things can get better, blue skies are ahead and there’s zero point in getting bogged down in reality. “Is this love?” asks Austin Williams. “Have I said why I love the sunrise? It’s cause it’s only gonna get lighter.” The frontman said we might be on the brink of a “summer of love”.
