Brisbane rockers Ball Park Music just dropped their latest single, “Like Love.”
It’s a simple, acoustic track that’s been described as an “ode to love,” complete with suitably heartfelt lyrics.
Frontman Sam Cromack says, “’Like Love’ is one of those songs that comes out of nowhere. I was up late, nearly ready to call it, and it appeared. It seemed to write itself and feel so complete from the first moment. Songs mostly don’t behave like this. This song is that little voice, the one that is quiet and true, trying to pierce through the screeching, forceful clamour of life to remind you of what really matters.”
The music video captures that feeling too, set against the backdrop of an Australian coastline with the sun rising as gentle waves roll in. Cromack croons, “Sometimes I don’t know what the fuck I’m feeling, but none of it, none of it, is like love.”
Ball Park Music just wrapped an arena tour supporting Sydney-based pop-rock duo Lime Cordiale, who personally picked them to join the lineup.
“Ball Park Music are debatably the best band in the country,” Lime Cordiale said. “They’ve been an inspiration to us since we first met 10 years ago. We can’t believe it’s taken this long to tour together.
As for Ball Park Music, they’d been dreaming of the tour for years. “We’ve wanted to go on tour with the Lime legends for years but it’s always been a pipe dream… until now!”
