Love at first sight – it’s the stuff of legend, of whispered what-ifs and stolen glances that turn into something bigger than fate itself.
With new release “Arrow”, Siren captures that electric moment of instant connection and transforms it into a soaring rock anthem.
Blending melodic rock, progressive energy, and Middle America roots, the track is equal parts intimate and cinematic, offering a heartfelt reflection on the kind of love that feels predestined.
Listen in here:
Rob Phillips’s vocals pull you into the rush of emotions that come with meeting someone who feels like destiny.
The instrumentation builds around that intensity with driving guitars, soaring melodies, and a steady heartbeat of percussion all working together to mirror the thrill, the nervousness and the unshakable sense of knowing that something profound has just begun.
“I wonder if we can cross this bridge together someday,” Phillips sings, a line that serves as both a question and a quiet hope. It speaks to th at universal desire we have to find a partner in life and take that leap of faith, in spite of all the uncertainties.
The song’s music video, directed by Isaac Deitz (Manchester Orchestra, Grouplove, Switchfoot), brings this narrative to life in a deeply symbolic way.
Watch the official music video here:
The storyline follows two individuals who unknowingly cross paths day after day, living their separate lives and yet never realizing just how close they are to finding each other. It’s a visual metaphor for those moments where love is just within reach but fate hasn’t quite connected the dots yet.
One of the most striking elements of the video is the paper airplane motif, which Deitz introduced as a representation of near misses, of messages unspoken and of the unseen forces that guide us toward the right person at the right time.
The climax of the video, where the couple finally meets on a bridge, mirrors the song’s key lyric – a long-awaited resolution that feels both serendipitous and inevitable.
The band’s performance footage was shot at JD’s in Coral Springs, Florida, adding a raw, intimate energy to the video. A particularly touching moment from the shoot was the presence of Phillips’ father-in-law, a 100-year-old WWII veteran, who was there to witness the filming. The band and crew were honored to have him on set, and his presence added another layer of meaning to a song already filled with personal significance.
With “Arrow”, Siren doesn’t just tell a love story. They make you feel it. It’s a song about timing, about trust and about the magic that happens when two souls collide.
