Swedish artist Boy Destroy has shared his latest single, “As Time Goes By,” via Loyalty Obsession, with a video directed by Jesper Johansson. Watch + share via YouTube. The follow up to his debut single, “Warpaint,” Boy Destroy embraces raw vulnerability even further, laying it all out in this emo-pop song that continues to build with each intimate confession.

Discussing the single, Boy Destroy states, “On the surface, this song is about the day after a destructive night, with someone I liked, in a bed somewhere. A film from the thirties. And tender lies in the dark. ‘As Time Goes By’ is a temporary break from a life on the run. Away from upbringing, rules, religion and drugs. To cease movement and resign to the perfection of the present moment – give of oneself and get back. To look into someone’s eyes when the car drives off the road but has not yet cracked the water surface. Total weightlessness. A safe embrace.”
