Sam Robbins finds an introspective journey with “Piles of Sand”
Sam Robbins is a songwriter who is known for his poetic lyricism and memorable folk pop songs that are emotionally resonant. His new musical piece is called “Piles of Sand” and the song features a breathtakingly effortless beauty.
“Piles of Sand” delivers both depth and accessibility. The meaning celebrates stoicism and was written in a moment of reflection. The track is simple and is meant to be so with Sam and his guitar creates an all-encompassing listen. He says, “Walking down a riverside path in Nashville, next to the barbed wire of a prison, watching and feeling gravel being blasted for a high flying condo building across the street was a very inspiring moment. After walking further and seeing a huge pile of gravel soaring high across the street, the first chorus lyric was immediately written down as it appears in the song now: “I thought it was a mountain but it was just a pile of sand towering so high, a nine to five creation”. Sam’s vocals are fragile and strong, playful yet deeply vulnerable and his guitar work is unparalleled.
Sam Robbins has shared two singles this year. He is set to release an album soon and we can’t wait to hear what musical gems it includes.
