Sometimes we all need a little ray of hope to keep us going.
Even the toughest, the bravest amongst us occasionally need a little boost, a reminder that beyond the black lies a gleaming white.
Music can be a wonderful source for this. Samuel Ford knows as much, and tried to capture this feeling in new song 'Kings'.

Intoxicating, folk-tinged fare, 'Kings' is another step forward for the blossoming songwriter. "As someone whose natural tendency is for minor keys, introspection and 'uplifting' melancholy (the staple of any singer-songwriter), I'm always over the moon when I've written something with an ounce of hope!”
