Leodis’ new single, “Days Like These” feels like a lingering loss, long after love fades. The Yorkshire-based trio have always thrived in the emotional space between grit and grace, but on "Days Like These" - they've found something deeper. What first seems like a love song slowly peels back its layers to reveal a meditation on loss, change, and the moments that pull us back when we least expect it.
Originally written in 2021 in the wake of a long-term relationship, “Days Like These” indeed began as a breakup song - a raw attempt to make sense of endings. “It was written as a goodbye,” frontman Archie shares. “But after taking a few years out and coming back to it, we heard it differently. It wasn’t about heartbreak anymore. It was about loss, and how the human mind processes the absence of someone you love, and learning to live without them.”
That space and time gave the song new gravity. Returning to it years later, Leodis uncovered layers that had always been there: grief, memory, release. These feelings reframed “Days Like These” as something universal. “However much time passes,” Archie adds, “there will always be days where it feels like you’re right back at square one.”
The single unfolds with the warmth of country storytelling and the edge of British rock, pairing rich harmonies with a raw, cinematic sincerity. Each lyric feels lived-in; each chord, heavy with memory. It’s a sound that sits somewhere between Kings of Leon’s rugged openness and the emotional pull of Mumford & Sons, but with a distinctly Northern touch.
In revisiting their past, Leodis have found something quietly transformative. “Days Like These” is about much more than loss, it's about the cyclical beauty of moving on, and the way old feelings resurface and echo through new moments.
