Discover the story of the song > Slide – James Bay

The song is about the protagonist reflecting on his past and missing the fun times he had with his partner. He realizes that nobody teaches you how to remember the good times and nobody teaches you how to deal with heartbreak. Instead of facing their problems, they choose to distract themselves by getting involved with other people, but deep down, they still long for love and companionship. The song ends with a spoken outro, expressing that the weight we carry in life is love and that ultimately, we seek solace and rest in the arms of love.
