Australian Unwrapped’s Chosen Song from Clean Bandit:
Symphony (feat. Zara Larsson)
Length: 3:32
Release: 2018
Opening Lyrics:
Before all I heard was silence
A rhapsody for you and me
And every melody is timeless
Life was stringing me along
Then you came and you cut me loose
Was solo singing on my own
Now I can’t find the key without you
And I’m dancin’ on to your heartbeat
And when you’re gone, I feel incomplete
So if you want the truth
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
Symphony
Like a love song on the radio
Will you hold me tight and not let go?
