The new track, titled We’re All Just Trying To Get By, explores the shared experience of struggling to survive through times of hardship, written – unsurprisingly – during the recent lockdown. Through dreamy instrumentation coupled with ambient sound effects and wistful lyrics, Taylor radiates a sense of optimism while marvelling at the communal bonds and survival instincts that unite all living creatures during moments of misfortune. 

 

Featuring vocalist KT Tunstall, the tune, which is described as "a David Attenborough TV series condensed into three transcendent minutes", explores this fundamental concept and how, from the largest of Planet Earth's creatures to the smallest,  ultimately, we all have the same goal: to survive, thrive and to co-exist in peace.

 

Following the release of his new album, Taylor will be hitting the road for a 14-date UK tour, kicking off on October 2 in Newcastle's 02 Academy.
