One of the highlights of seeing Sam Fischer supporting Guy Sebastian last month was witnessing him premiering his new single “A Heart Doesn’t Hurt Itself.” It was so good that I was desperate for you all to hear it, and now it’s out in the world and you can. Sam’s emotional vocals and honest lyrics exploring heartbreak make this one of the best power-pop ballads I’ve heard in some time.
“I blamed myself pretty heavily for the erosion of a relationship I thought was unbreakable,” Sam said of the song’s inspiration. “It shattered my self-worth when it ended and it’s taken a few years of reflection to realise that maybe I didn’t do that to myself. I hope that if anyone sees themselves in ‘A Heart Doesn’t Hurt Itself’, they can find the strength to realise that your self-worth should always come from within and never be tied to someone else’s approval of you.”
Sam has a few more shows supporting Guy Sebastian before he steps up as the headliner for a very special hometown show. After witnessing how good he is live last month, I can assure you it’s worth grabbing a ticket anywhere you can!
