“Someone Told Me That You Were Dead” is a song that doesn’t give you the feeling of a beginning or an end. It starts somewhere in the middle and keeps on playing, like a never-ending sonic box that immerses you with its honest and heartfelt storytelling. Just as the name of the track suggests, “Someone Told Me That You Were Dead” is about loss, love, and longing.
With the help of co-producer, David Myhr, and bandmates from the Swedish band, Redroom, where Arne Floryd played as a guitarist and vocalist, the track explores a wholesome, warm tonality with poised production bathed in rich backing vocals that remind you of the Beach Boys.
Rooted in the 60s and the 70s, Arne Floryd’s music however doesn’t stay too nostalgic in the past. Instead, he explores the contemporary application of the classic sounds and arrangements, creating something timeless with a taste.
“Someone Told Me That You Were Dead” is like fine wine you could savor. Poetic lyrics that engage with six senses, the more you listen, the more flavors and feelings the song evokes.
Born during the lockdown, Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alian Friends is the solo project of Arne Floryd. Since the birth of this project, Floryd has released four singles and a double album 17 Birds at the Summer’s Gate, to which “Someone Told Me That You Were Dead” belongs.
