SHAED – Once Upon A Time

‘Once Upon A Time’, the new single by SHAED, is a song that will grab you by the heartstrings from the very first note. It’s a heavenly ballad with sweeping strings and layers of music that will wash over you. The finale of the song takes a melancholic instrumental turn, ending a beautiful track with a touch of sadness. Almost like leaving a love story open-ended.

The chorus is where ‘Once Upon A Time’ shines the most. The lush arrangement and vocals carry you up in to the clouds and allow you to float along with it. The strings on the track are provided by Macedonia’s FAMES Orchestra.

The single is accompanied by an equally stunning video that was co-directed by Daniel St. Ours and SHAED. Talking about the song and video the band had the following to say.

“‘Once Upon A Time’ is about the tragic nature of being young and in love. In our youth, there’s an untapped well of ever-changing emotions that wants to spill out. First relationships are filled with intense feelings of love, hope, doubt, and regret. In the blink of an eye, you go from believing you’ll die in that person’s arms, to watching the walls of the foundation you built crumble around you.

Remembering our first relationships feels like swimming in a golden haze of fragile beauty. We wanted this song and the music video to capture that feeling.“
