French indie-folk singer and songwriter Romain Alix shares his brand new single How Lucky Am I, a heartwarming song written during his grandparent’s battle with cancer.
Rooted between Toulouse and Lisbon, weaving English and Portuguese lyrics, How Lucky Am I is his way of saying goodbye to his grandparents, who were his best friends and confidents. I am loving how delicate and heartfelt his vocal delivery is, radiating raw, honest emotion and soul, effortlessly making me feel each and every single word he is singing. A song about turning hardship into gratitude and strength, How Lucky Am I pairs Romain Alix’s stellar vocal performance with gentle acoustic guitar plucks and soothing cello strings that come together to create an overall warm and intimate atmosphere with melancholic touches. Another thing that I love is the parts in Portuguese that really makes it connect deeper with me as a Portuguese man. This is one of those songs that will get through to your heart and create a comforting atmosphere, like a warm embrace on a cold, winter’s day. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, Romain Alix said,
I wrote this song during my grandparents’ battle with cancer. They were my best friends and confidants. They passed before it came out, so I let my song be the voice that says goodbye one last time.
