Proving you don't need to win a reality TV show to get a record deal, Taylor Henderson drops new video for When You Were Mine...
Following up the hugely successful first single Borrow My Heart, the cheekily charming fifth series Australian X-Factor runner up Taylor Henderson shows a different softer side in his new single When You Were Mine.
Continuing the melodic folk pop sound we first heard on his debut single, this new track co-written by the singer is more of a love ballad . Speaking of the new track Henderson said...
"When You Were
Mine is almost like a letter; the words just flow-on and it really
does tell a story. The song is about love-lost and insecurity - it’s the idea
that when you let go of something or someone, it only really hits you later and
you start thinking, 'oh, what have I done?'. It captures the moment when you
are rewinding and reflecting about when that person was yours."
Talking further about the lyrics,
Taylor explains, "I wanted to find a
word that had a double-meaning, and in this song the word was change - and so
there was the reference to when someone changes their mind, and also a
reference to loose change in your pocket. I like the idea of being a bit clever
with the lyrics and using a word twice in a different context."I'd send
myself broke just to buy back the time / if the change in my pocket could
change your mind". I mean most people might not even notice that, but
others might find the song more interesting as a result."
