Jake Pattinson's 'Part of Me'
A spare bedroom in Harrogate, a loft a few streets away where the drums went down, and a photograph taken on a messy night at a working men's club near Doncaster.
That's the world 'Part of Me' comes from, built by Jake Pattinson with the same hands-on, unpolished honesty that runs through everything he writes.
Shimmering synths open into a driving 120 BPM pulse, acoustic and electric guitars locking together in the kind of widescreen indie-rock built for late-night drives and windows-down escapes.
The self-produced singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist shares his third single, a widescreen indie-rock track about the people, places and versions of ourselves that stick around long after a relationship ends.
“I think people talk a lot about missing an ex, but not enough about missing the people and places that came with them. Sometimes a relationship ends and you lose someone' s dad, their local pub, their family, and this version of yourself that existed in that world. Part of Me is about those ghosts that still turn up every now and then” says Jake.
'Part of Me' pulls from The Killers' scale and the heartland storytelling of Bruce Springsteen and Sam Fender, but it's Jake Pattinson's own story underneath: a Harrogate-raised songwriter confronting what's left behind when a relationship, and everyone attached to it, disappears from view.
