about

In the lead up to his upcoming album, singer-songwriter Pirritu brings us his new single 'Out On A Whim'. This new track serves up a cheery guitar sound with Folk guitar progressions and Pirritu's soulful, earthy voice. 'Out On A Whim' is about love and connection, a message that is exacerbated with the sound of majestic backing vocals at the song’s climax. "The song was written to acknowledge the bond between two beings illustrating connection and growth as one". Pirritu once again shines a light on his songwriting and reminds us of the charm that Folk can offer. It's a great introduction to Pirritu if you've not yet come across him, and a welcoming invitation into his forthcoming album, set to release in March next year. If you're looking for something to remind you of the power of impactful songwriting and skilled guitar performances, 'Out On A Whim' is the track for you.

lyrics

Words that speak to you hover in the front of my head
Forward is the way I think under your wing
Out on a whim here with you by my side

I can only lend you my ears and eyes
I can only give you my soul
Please use your arms and heart to sooth it when the sun goes down

The path has been cleared now it’s time to walk on through
So get down on your knee and say how you feel
Out on a whim here with you by my side

Your comfort zone adrift in the wake of my raft
And I’ve paddled for the shore to work on my craft
Out on a whim here with you by my side

I can only lend you my ears and eyes
I can only give you my soul
Please use your arms and heart to sooth it when the sun goes down

Watered down my soul on a windy day
More heart in this chest, that once blew away
Out on a whim here with you here to stay

And you sat there with a smile and not once laughed
At this skinny bearded man with a beer soaked scarf
Out on a whim here with you beating in my heart

I can only lend you my ears and eyes
I can only give you my soul
Please use your arms and heart to sooth it when the sun goes down
