The Loving Arms – If This Is How It Ends: New Song

The Loving Arms have just released their new song, If This Is How It Ends ahead of their album release show at Big Fan.

Here’s the burb:

Auckland Tāmaki Makaurau  quintet The Loving Arms release single ‘If This Is How It Ends’ ahead of their album release show at Big Fan.

Another emotional epic from Auckland country-soul balladeers The Loving Arms, ‘If This Is How It Ends’ is a bitter-sweet call for calm, kindness, understanding and love when the worst is upon us. “Pull back the curtains, let some sunshine in”, the band sings. It doesn’t have to be the end. But if it is, that’s OK.

The track was produced by Kerry Furlong and is the third single lifted from the band’s debut album Dreaming Over You, which is due for release on Friday March 3rd.

The official video for the track was edited by Loving Arms’  drummer Bryan Shaw from footage from the 1971 George Segal drama Born to Win .

Tickets for their album launch at Big Fan, Morningside on March 5 are selling fast.
