The track follows the release of recent single ‘WHY DO WE DO THIS?’
On their rousing and captivating new single ‘YOU LOOK JUST LIKE ME’, Canadian duo Bestfriend explores the relationships that we have with the people that we love the most, and the ways that we begin to mirror their traits and the ways that they behave and act, leading to a kind of lack of identity and originality at the same time.
The track’s immersive soundscape and engrossing charm makes for some really moving moments, especially as its soaring chorus rolls around, cementing the idea of these intrinsic bonds that we form with people and the ways that they impact us in unspoken and often unseen ways. This is a really interesting concept and idea that provokes a lot of introspection in you as a listener while making for a really memorable and lasting listening experience that etches a mark onto you in the same way that the people around us do.
“As individuals, a lot of us are the people we spend our lives with.” The duo say of the track. “There are strings tied between ourselves and those people so fine we miss a great deal of them before we’re gone. We pick up pieces of each other as we go and forget they weren’t always ours. Sometimes we don’t even notice ourselves doing it; often it’s our biology doing it for us. In our smallest moments it’s so easy to feel like the only person in the world, when in reality we’re following very similar paths and experiences that our loved ones have. Of course, their moments of weakness are quiet as well, so your similarities are tough to spot. But when you shine a little light on yourselves you can see the strings shimmer.”
