Coming off the success of their recent release, "Transjester," Saint Valentine unveils the second chapter of their four-part debut EP of the same title.
"The Good" is a soft hearted love letter to girlhood, an expression of deep admiration and love towards a female best friend, a longing to run away together.
The indie folk track captures the quintessential teenage dream of wanting to escape and having your whole life ahead of you.
Saint Valentine's wistful vocals evoke a reverie-like state as they promise, "I know what we can do, amiga. Let's run away. Let's go to Spain or jump on a train, bleach out the stains til we're both bright blonde." The single confesses a loyal bond of wanting to take someone's pain away, "Shoot your arrows if need be, but shoot them only at me if you need to bleed."
With effortless lyrical transitions that resonate like poetry, "The Good" adds artistic depth to Saint Valentine's musical catalog. Often drawing nods to the fairytale-style songwriting of Taylor Swift's folklore, Saint Valentine further plays into the themes of escapism, fantasy, and identity.
"The Good" originated from the creative minds of artist Saint Valentine, producer Shane Furst, and musician Luca Yannuzzi. Recorded at Cloud Factory Studio in Wayne, NY, get lost in "The Good," out now.
