With a lyrical depth drawn from his own personal experiences with loss and the grieving process, Michael Neill’s music becomes a form of therapeutic expression, resonating with anyone who has ever felt the pain of parting ways with a loved one.
In his own words, Michael Neill shares, “All my writing comes from an autobiographical standpoint, so I wrote this song about my own personal experiences with loss and the grieving process. Writing this song was a very cathartic experience, and I know it will resonate with people because we have all known the pain of loss.”
“Waiting For Me” seamlessly blends Neill’s powerful vocals with his emotive songwriting, delivering a moving and soul-stirring melody. The lyrics, described by Neill as self-explanatory, offer solace and nostalgia, providing comfort to those who have experienced loss.
Michael Neill releases the music video, “Waiting For Me,” alongside the single, which beautifully captures the essence of a song that explores the theme of mourning lost love while maintaining the belief in a reunion in another life.
Watch the music video for “Waiting For Me” HERE Right from the start, the video concept aimed for simplicity and grandeur, a breathtakingly beautiful visual experience. Drawing inspiration from the AI-generated cover for the single, where Michael walks above the clouds in an alternate reality, the video’s aesthetics were carefully chosen. The location, a rooftop in Cape Town overlooking the city, was aptly named “the in-between” – a symbolic realm bridging two worlds. This choice allowed the focus to be on Michael’s emotive performance, bringing the song’s lyrical significance vividly to life.
Throughout the video, the presence of distant paragliders serves as a metaphorical representation of lovers’ souls searching to reunite on the other side. Their graceful flight adds depth to the narrative, echoing the sentiment of the song’s lyrics.
The video begins with a poetic quote: “Our souls recognize each other from lifetimes past, and they will continue to intertwine in lifetimes to come.” This sets the tone for the poignant yet optimistic message that “Waiting For Me” conveys.
Michael Neill shares his excitement about the video’s release, emphasizing its role in enhancing the music and lyrics. “I am thrilled to release not only the song but of course, the music video which serves the music and especially the lyrics. I had an incredible time filming and editing this project along with my team and I really hope it resonates with a lot of people and I can’t wait to perform it LIVE at my next show.”
