Sven Ross - Life Gets Blurry in a Rush


November 08, 2024

We no longer need to introduce the Dutch artist Sven Ross, who is part of the IMC Family and has managed to win us over with every release for the past two years. His new single, released on October 25, raises the bar even higher in terms of quality. Yes, from the very first listen, we are struck by his high-pitched voice in the chorus. Sven Ross hadn’t accustomed us to such high notes, and it’s a real pleasure to hear him in this range! A very pleasant surprise.

The song has been added to "Niko's Music Mixtape", our monthly virtual CD on Spotify.

Sven Ross's take on "Life Gets Blurry in a Rush"

I initially wrote it for my girlfriend at the time, a little over two years ago. I later realized it was a letter to myself. It might have been too confronting to acknowledge this while writing the song. I believe this is the reason it became one that grew on me over time.

A bit more about Sven Ross

Located between Amsterdam and London, conscious Dutch singer-songwriter Sven Ross writes modern folk stories to help us deal with contemporary life. Weaving thoughtful lyrics with organic instruments, Sven creates an oasis of peace and reflection in uncertain times of geopolitical tension and climate threats. All major problems in the world stem from unhappy people seeking happiness in the wrong things…but songs can start a change. Initially, on the way to becoming a primary education teacher, Sven Ross could no longer pretend that music was a side thing. He changed course and moved to London to pursue a career in music. It is there that he slowly drowned out the inner voice telling him making art could never be a serious profession. He refined his melodic sensibilities and fingerstyle-inspired guitar playing, but above all, discovered he could use his songwriting abilities to help himself and others find meaning and contribute to a better world.

Lyrics

You cover your tears with your hands on your face

Your mind’s like the mess in your room

Your own expectations are rising too high

To live up to

Time’s on your side but you curse it again

You always feel one step behind

You start running faster whatever the cost

But won’t get by

Slow down my love

You don’t need all that much

Take off the weight that’s been hung upon you

Treasure the things that you choose

I’m by your side if you’re needing a friend

I’ve been there too

Slow down my love

You don’t need all that much

Slow down my love

Life gets blurry in a rush

It’s not your fault the world’s too fast

But you don’t need me to tell you that

Oh no, I know you know 

The world’s too fast, but it’s not your fault

So don’t blame yourself for getting old

Oh no, I know you know 

You should slow down my love

Cause life gets blurry in a rush
