Australian singer-songwriter Delta Goodrem has shared the video for her new single “Dear life”.
The track is a beautiful ballad written with Sydney’s DNA, the team who also worked on Goodrem’s “Wings“, which became her ninth No. 1 single last year.
Goodrem said the song came in a “lightning bolt” moment. “The song came very quickly and took on a life of its own” Delta said. “I felt so connected to it straight away it felt like one of those songs you channel.”
The video see Delta sits at her trusty grand piano. Behind her, a large LED screen shoots up a series of inspiring images and little flashbacks to Delta past, including her moving 2003 ARIAs appearance (at which Darren Hayes performed her classic hit ‘Lost without you’).
Lyrics:
Time will change you
Nothing lasts forever more
Tomorrow’s all we’re living for
And lights will blind you
Illusions keep you wanting more
Just look past revolving doors
To find what’s real
Dear life, am I doing this right?
Can you see me tonight
Can you help me dear life?
And I know that I can’t understand
What you hold in your hands for me
Dear life
Love will change you
No matter if you stay with them
You’ll never be the same again
You’ve shown me magic
Highs I’ve never felt before
Memories that I thank you for
From deep in my soul
Dear life, am I doing this right?
Can you see me tonight
Can you help me dear life?
And I know that I can’t understand
What you hold in your hands for me
Dear life
I’m a survivor
I’m a survivor
I’m a survivor
Dear life
Sometimes it hurts you
Maybe it’s a lesson learned
To bring my feet back to this Earth
To find what’s real
Dear life, am I doing this right?
Can you see me tonight
Can you help me dear life?
And I know that I can’t understand
What you hold in your hands for me
Dear life
I’m a survivor
I’m a survivor
I’m a survivor
Dear life
Dear life
