Andy Smith and Emily E. Finke collaborate on “Legends,” a huge alternative-indie track with a cinematic quality and a sense of timelessness. The song, written and produced together in May 2025, captures the emotional weight of journeys across landscapes, memories, and the small distances that build up between people over time.
The story is about traversing mountains of gold and seeking cities of light. These are both metaphors for the search for the extraordinary, whether it’s love, truth, or the sense of meaning that always seems to be just out of reach. At its core, there is a fight between myth and reality, between the stories we tell ourselves and the truths we face.
“Legends” has had a global impact on creativity, which makes it so special. Andy and Emily worked on the song’s base in their own countries, and Andy De Rosa of Wave Mastering in the UK did the final mastering. The music has a sense of distance, both real and imagined, that is part of its essence. The result is a piece of music that sounds big, winding, and free of geographic limits.
The song’s vocals and melody build up gradually, making it an emotional and evocative journey. Each piece was carefully placed, creating an atmosphere full of desire and possibility. “Legends” is a group project about distant connections and tells a story without a clear ending. It is a piece of music and a modern myth in sound form.
