PLAYGROUND SONG BY PHOEBE RINGS - LIVE PERFORMANCE VIDEO

A lullaby-like, cyclical track which reflects on childhood friendship and nostalgia.

‘Playground Song’ features stereo acoustic guitars, warm synth textures, and gentle wave-like noises, with its centrepiece – a flute solo played by Lukas Fritsch – adding a dreamy, reflective touch. It’s released alongside its floral-adorned live performance video directed by Nahyeon Lee.

LYRICS:
Two friends, holding hands
Dancing through the island fields
An orange sky
Songs to sing, rhapsody
Eyes glowing

Two friends, holding hands
Beloved dreams, an open sea
Under the orange sky
Songs to sing, rhapsody
Eyes glowing

Two friends, holding hands
Dancing through the island fields
An orange sky Songs to sing, rhapsody
Eyes glowing
