October Passed Me By - Musique

“October Passed Me By” serves as a sequel to 2018’s girl in red breakthrough, “we fell in love in october. It marks Marie’s first release since her 2021 debut album “if i could make it go quiet“. Co-produced with Aaron Dessner, the song centers around a fast-paced acoustic guitar where Marie reminisces about a previous romance. In an interview with Pitchfork, girl in red said of the song: "“October Passed Me By” is where I’m at today, emotionally and musically. Grateful for what has been, and full of love for a very special person that made a huge impact on me as a person." First announced via an artwork depicting fall leaves posted on social media, girl in red shared the message — “the story continues…” — as well as a joyful picture of herself and Aaron Dessner at the Long Pond studio in upstate New York. Additionally, “October Passed Me By” was released along with a short film directed by Gustav Johansson, starring Lisa Loven Kongsli and Ruth Vega Fernandez as older versions of the characters from the “we fell in love in october” music video. "“October Passed Me By” has been living in the back of my head since June 2021. Every fall since I put out “we fell in love in october” in 2018, I was encouraged to do things on social media to talk about the song again. Making TikToks, Instagram posts, and other things about a song I made years ago never felt honest. I’m not in the same place as I was when I wrote the song, emotionally or artistically, so pretending to be so felt boring and uninteresting. So, I never did any of that; but last year something happened in my personal love life that brought up a lot of feelings that I had to confront internally. I met Aaron Dessner in the fall of 2021. I told him I had this song that I had written and wanted to make but I hadn’t started recording it yet. I had never worked with him, so for me, it felt like an interesting and also lowkey thing to try out. I finished writing the song in Oslo and LA, working remotely with Aaron and with my great friend Matias Tellez on mix." — girl in red via Pitchfork (October 2022) Read more on Last.fm.
