elkvilla is an Australian artist whom I really like. He had already seduced us at the very beginning of the year with "Stranger" and its catchy chorus.
Here he is back with a new single, "Just Kids", accompanied by a pretty female voice: Darby. The song is full of poetry, which makes you want to share breakfast with bread coming out of the oven, hearing birdsong.
Yet despite its cheerful and light-hearted appearance, the song is about a breakup. The two protagonists wish to move forward and only keep the good memories. As if to turn a page, all smoothly and delicately, Adam lengthens the words on the paper with disconcerting ease. Even the darkest of situations could become beautiful and bright, thanks to his colorful writing.
On the production side, it's very simple, it's definitely an acoustic track for fans of organic instruments, but the vocal harmonies sublimate the song with elegant notes. Another success for elkvilla. If you too have fallen in love with his musical universe, then you won't be surprised to see him again on IMC for a third feature.
Added to our Main Spotify Playlist, our "Without You" playlist, and played daily on Indie Music Center's Radio.

Lyrics
in the summertime
we would ride our bikes
and trace the river to the ocean’s mouth
and you would pick me up
before dark
and you'd show me all you knew
when we were just kids
we thought we knew everything
so let this heartbreak take over
cause you can’t fight anymore
so let this heartbreak take over
cause you can’t fight
anymore…
in the wintertime
how it rained
but the kitchen was warm
and you’d lay me down
on the blankets
and laugh until the morning broke
but we were just kids
we thought we knew everything
so let this heartbreak take over
cause you can’t fight anymore
so let this heartbreak take over
cause you can’t fight
anymore…
my love
so let this heartbreak take over
cause you can’t fight anymore
so let this heartbreak take over
cause you can’t fight
so let this heartbreak
so let this heartbreak
so let this heartbreak
so let this heartbreak
