Dreaming in Echoes – David Cloyd’s “If We Could Escape” Soars

From the very first note of “If We Could Escape,” David Cloyd doesn’t just invite you in—he transports you. There’s a wistful pull in his voice, an ache that feels timeless yet deeply personal, like the soundtrack to a memory you didn’t know you had. This third single from his upcoming album Red Sky Warning is a glowing ember in the darkness—a delicate, intricately layered indie gem that finds its strength in restraint.

What’s remarkable here is how Cloyd blends emotional intimacy with sonic ambition. The track hums with subtle synths and echoing guitar lines that feel like they’re reaching out across space. But it’s his voice—fragile yet firm—that anchors it all, whispering of escape not as fantasy, but as a quiet, urgent need. You don’t just hear the longing—you feel it.

It’s no wonder this track caught the ear of ECR’s Blake Morgan, who called it “the one” that compelled him to mix the record. You can tell. Every element feels intentional, every beat filled with breath and meaning. Cloyd’s cult following hasn’t just returned—they’ve been rewarded.

“If We Could Escape” isn’t just a song—it’s a slow burn through the fog of the everyday. Beautifully melancholic, and utterly human, it’s Cloyd at his finest—reaching into the heart, and pulling something real to the surface.
