On their new EP Beginnings, Piperlain bring together three years of musical development – and “Yearning for You” feels like its emotional heart. The track opens with gentle piano and clear, intertwining vocal lines that immediately bring to mind the warm, shimmering harmonies of The Corrs. Yet beneath the lightness, a small crack in the heart remains unmistakable. The song tells of someone shedding an old life, making themselves almost invisible in a new environment – “new skin”, “forgettable face” – and yet unable to let go of a past love. The new streets feel alien, their identity not yet settled. In the chorus, this tension intensifies: life is new, but the heart continues to circle round what was. Piperlain capture this inner conflict with a remarkable calm and warmth that makes the song particularly accessible. “Yearning for You” is a quiet yet powerful song about new beginnings that don’t quite heal – and a longing that cannot be shaken off.
