British Armenian songwriter and storyteller Richard Simonian returns with one of his most emotionally powerful releases to date. His new single Somewhere in the Heavens arrives as a heartfelt remembrance piece that speaks directly to the universal experience of love, loss, and the enduring presence of those who have passed on.
The track opens with gentle piano tones and warm atmospheric pads that immediately set a reflective, cinematic mood. As the song builds, layers of soulful, gospel influenced vocals rise into an uplifting chorus that feels both intimate and expansive. Simonian carries the emotion with striking sincerity, delivering a performance that reaches straight to the heart.
Somewhere in the Heavens is rooted in memory. It is written for the loved ones who are no longer here, capturing the quiet longing that many people feel most strongly during the holiday season. Instead of focusing solely on sorrow, the song balances grief with hope, offering a sense of connection that transcends the physical world. It speaks to the belief that love continues, that presence can be felt in silence, and that memory is a form of light.
Simonian’s songwriting blends spiritual reflection with raw human honesty. His British Armenian heritage often shapes his work, adding depth, history, and a sense of ancestral connection to his music. In this single, that emotional depth is front and centre. The arrangement swells like a film score, but the message remains deeply personal, almost like a private conversation between the living and those remembered.
Listeners have already begun responding to the song’s sincerity and resonance. Its combination of cinematic production, heartfelt storytelling, and powerful choral energy makes it a standout release in Simonian’s growing catalogue. Somewhere in the Heavens feels comforting and cathartic at the same time, offering a moment of peace to anyone navigating the complexities of loss.
With this release, Richard Simonian continues to establish himself as an artist unafraid to explore the deeper corners of the human experience. Somewhere in the Heavens is not simply a song. It is a message of love, a space for reflection, and a reminder that memory can be both a refuge and a guiding light.
