Maggie Rogers is one of those artists one can get lost in. Her music is so gratifyingly genuine and it’s impossible not to relate to something she’s released. This week, the singer gifted fans with a track that was left unfinished for her debut album, Heard It In A Past Life, released earlier this year.
“Love You For A Long Time” is classic Maggie Rogers with a heartwarming backstory that will make you fall even more in love with her the more you listen. In a lengthy, honest email, Rogers shared her love for life, change, music, and her band who have become family to her over the past three years.
“I actually wrote most of ‘Love You For A Long Time’ the day before I wrote ‘Light On.’ Those last days of finishing Heard It In A Past Life were such vivid and vital creative moments for me. I was dreaming up a future – for my music, for my life – and the possibilities felt endless. For various reasons, but mostly scheduling, the song was left unfinished and unrecorded, but it always stuck with me and I’ve found its melody weaving in and out of my brain for the last year and a half.”
“It’s a song about love in all its forms – romantic love, the love I feel for my friends, the love I feel for my band, and the love I’ve shared with all of you. I wanted it to sound like the last days of summer. I wanted it to sound as wild and alive as new love feels.”
