Rather Be is a tranquil song about the beauty of human connection. The song is a collaboration between Christina Perri and Luke Sital-Singh, who co-wrote the song together. It was released in 2022 as part of Luke Sital-Singh’s album Dressing Like A Stranger.
[Verse 1: Luke Sital-Singh]
The siren sound, have you fallen asleep yet?
I simmer down close under your breast
A record spins all through to the daylight
I wake again, and you’re still by my side
[Chorus: Luke Sital-Singh]
We may be falling backwards
And feelin’ out to sea
Hangin’ on for the sunrise
‘Til we’ll be wild and free
But with the world still shakin’
And you lyin’ next to me
There’s nowhere I’d rather be
[Verse 2: Christina Perri]
Your warmest glow, never easy to leave it
‘Cause nothing fits me as well as your arms
The dinner fight, the shadows at sunset
Still close at night with miles to go yet
“The more I live, the more I learn. The more I learn, the more I realize, the less I know.”- Michel Legrand

Really tranquil for sure…calming…
I just love to listen what Perri does with it in the second verse. Masterful, which is no surprise.
She’s a beauty.
I saw her first. Get your own Perri lol
You introduced me Matt lol 😆 she is wonderful…
I know buddy and I’m chuffed you like her so. There isn’t a day that go by that I don’t listen to her. I was listening to her ‘People Like You’ yesterday and it just left me ‘gobsmacked’ although I’d probably heard it 30 times. Her sound seems to be reborn each day lol
I love it that. Some artists you hear something new no matter how often you hear a song…
Tranquil and sublime. Sital-Singh and Perri’s voices harmonize so beautifully.
Perri’s second verse is something to behold yeh? How she crafts her voice and the intonations and inflections are just sublime as you put it.
