Acclaimed musician and actor Sam Palladio has released the video for his new single ‘Bullet For Your Love’ taken from his latest album The Perfect Summer’s Day, Before We Lost The Light out now.
‘Bullet For Your Love’ was inspired by a traumatic experience after the trans-Atlantic star and his partner were robbed at gunpoint outside his home in Nashville. The single is a hymnal piano ballad which builds to a soaring crescendo and features additional harmonies and guitar from Biffy Clyro’s Simon Neil.
Regarding the single Sam Palladio says, “At its heart, ‘Bullet For Your Love’ is a song that for me represents, selflessness, not giving into fear, and the realization that you’d do all in your power to protect someone you love. I wanted to turn a distressing experience into something beautiful, that affirmed the things that meant the most to me.
When someone points a weapon at you and threatens someone you care about, you suddenly feel an instinctual need to protect. Making music as a way of healing and processing my feelings was something new to me, but the creation of this piece started a sequence of songwriting that felt deeply personal and autobiographical.
I worked closely with my musical idol Simon Neil of Biffy Clyro to add his brilliance to my debut album. I’m honoured to say that he lent his beautiful harmonies and guitar to this song.”
Sam’s debut album The Perfect Summer’s Day, Before We Lost The Light speaks to the star’s lifelong experience in and around music, his deep immersion in Nashville and heartland Americana, while also retaining his obsessive fandom for rock and guitar music. It also addresses very personal and life changing moments, prompting a diverse record of moving emotions, textures and sounds.
