Sammy Rae Shares Indie Piano Ballad “Living Room Floor”
August 28, 2020 BY Nettwerk
Brooklyn’s Sammy Rae shares new track “Living Room Floor,” an indie confessional piano ballad that hearkens back to the pre-pandemic days of relentless touring and crashing on living room floors. It’s an anthem about finding comfort in what you’ve got and making the most out of a little.
Sammy Rae says “Living Room Floor” is “a song about finding home and contentment in the present moment. Looking hopefully towards the future without discrediting the magic and importance of the present. It is a story-song recounting coming of age moments in the living rooms of apartments gone-by.”
