A poignant study of loss from James McVey with his latest single ‘Hold On to the Times’. The video pictures McVey traveling in the back seat of a car, writing lyrics in a notebook. A simple arrangement featuring fiddle sits beneath his almost whispered vocal. This is latest song from his ‘Letters Home’ E.P. ‘Hold On to the Times’ and the other tracks were written while McVey was on tour recently with Henry Moodie.
James says, “I wrote and recorded this EP over a few weeks on tour a couple months ago. I had no plan to make this EP and no idea these songs would come to me on the road. These songs mean so much to me and I’m over the moon that you’re connecting with them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for breathing life into these songs.
After the solo outing of ‘Letters Home’, McVey returns to the road fronting his band The Vamps this September.
