Eli Lev's latest single, "My Wish Was You," is a profoundly emotional piece wrapped in acoustic warmth and accompanied by cinematic strings. With its gentle folk-pop sensibility, the track evokes the feeling of a dream you never want to wake from, soft around the edges yet sharp where it stings. "My Wish Was You" doesn't just play like a song; it lingers in your mind like a memory.
From the first strum of the acoustic guitar to the haunting presence of a string quartet, the instrumentation perfectly sets the stage for Lev's introspective lyrics. His voice is not loud; it conveys a sense of confidence to the listener. His delivery is authentic, as if he is sharing a story he has rehearsed in his mind countless times, but has only just found the courage to sing aloud.
"My Wish Was You" reflects a longing not just for a person, but for an idealized version of life where that connection endured. Lev captures this bittersweet feeling with lyrical grace, painting a picture of love that felt almost perfect but was never fully realized. It's a song for anyone who has walked away from something that seemed like fate and has questioned whether it was all imagined.
This single is part of his upcoming album, "Past Lives," hinting at a broader exploration of memory, identity, and emotional truth. Fans of Gregory Alan Isakov, Vance Joy, and The Paper Kites will find familiar comfort in Lev's sound, marked by his soulful touch. For three tender minutes, Eli Lev invites us to linger in that space between what was and what could have been.
