Hughes – “Despite The Distance”
Hughes’ new single “Despite The Distance” is beautiful and it’s one of the best tracks I’ve heard this week. Built around a gentle folk foundation, the track feels like flipping through an old photo album on a slow afternoon, warm, nostalgic, and real. You can hear the heart in every note, and trust me, the song will make you hum.
The song’s reflective tone pulls you into Benji Straker’s world, where time passes, kids grow up, and memories stretch across miles. It doesn’t try to impress with tricks, it just speaks plainly, and that’s exactly why it works so well. “Despite The Distance” is one of those songs that feels personal even on the first listen, and if you’ve ever missed someone, it’ll hit you in just the right spot.
Make sure to follow Hughes on socials so you don’t miss the full album and any upcoming shows, it’s the kind of music worth sticking around for.
