Waiting for Smith is the musical project of Harry Lloyd, a British artist whose journey has been shaped by both extraordinary challenges and transformative experiences. After breaking his back at 24 and spending a year in recovery, Lloyd rediscovered his passion for music, picking up the guitar and writing songs with newfound purpose. His eclectic life path – from traveling across the world, learning languages, and becoming a ski instructor, to overcoming mental health struggles and healing in South Africa – has deeply influenced his music. Now based in the Netherlands, Waiting for Smith creates music with a mission: to help others live a happier state of existence, feeling less worry and more love and joy, offering a sense of lightness and hope through his soulful, heartfelt sound.

His latest single, "I Like Life," encapsulates this ethos, inviting listeners to reflect on the simple yet powerful question, "Do you like life?" As Harry explains, "It's a question we all feel, and it's so simple but profound." The song also introduces the concept of "Love Town," a place described in the lyrics as "Hey, won't you come down to the place I call the Love Town." While open to interpretation, the idea behind it is clear: it's about choosing to view life through a lens of love, shifting from the mind to the heart, and embracing a positive, more joyful state of being.

"This song came about 4 years ago when I turned up to a writing session in Amsterdam.

I didn't wanna go that day because I felt kinda unmotivated - Ironically the song that appeared was the most uptempo thing I'd ever created."
