Dave Lofts Finds Grace in Loss on Stirring New Track “Mary”

Dave Lofts has built his reputation on emotional honesty and widescreen melody, and his latest single “Mary” may be his most affecting release yet. Written as a prayer, the song unfolds with quiet restraint before swelling into the kind of anthemic release Lofts does so well — intimate enough for solitary listening, yet expansive enough to fill a room.

Lyrically, “Mary” sits in the aftermath of love and separation, capturing the devastation of knowing someone can be everything and still be unreachable. There’s a tenderness to Lofts’ delivery that never tips into melodrama; instead, the emotion lands in small, human moments, where grief and peace exist side by side.

Sonically, the track echoes the heart-on-sleeve songwriting of artists like Sam Fender and Paolo Nutini, pairing lived experience with soaring melodic lift. It’s a sound that has clearly resonated — Lofts arrives at this release off the back of ten consecutive sold-out headline shows across Ireland and a rapidly expanding global audience.

“Mary” feels less like a bid for scale and more like a moment of stillness amid Lofts’ growing momentum — proof that his greatest strength remains his ability to make deeply personal stories feel universally felt.
