Swedish indie singer-songwriter Dennis Sjöström aka The Hollow Men comes to us with the bittersweet sonic creation that is "Said". With this refreshing and honest showcase of feelings and emotions he explores the harsh truth behind a relationship that was made of lies. He understands and accepts the fragile nature of our human condition as we sometimes prefer to act blind than see all the danger signs. The soundscape embraces the story in a way that invites us in as it connects the dots and makes it all so vivid and so palpable.
There's something special about "Said" that caresses our senses as it lets us know that it's ok to be wrong, we have all decided to look the other way in a past relationship (or maybe current). The song does not aim to judge but to show that in pain we are brothers and sisters, for the heart at times wants what it shouldn't have.
So listen closely and fall prey to the sweet cathartic release offered by the must-listen gem that is "Said". Enjoy and explore this wonderful soundscape!
"'Said' is about the harsh reality of realizing that someone you thought you knew, isn't who you assumed them to be. It's about how we can often be blind to the red flags that are so blatantly obvious to everyone else and how, in some relationships, we can gradually change into someone we're not. When it ends, we're left wondering if any of it was even real."
