Jamie Beth’s “In May” Feels Like a Dream You Never Want to Wake Up From

Every now and then, a song comes along that stops time — or at least makes you wish you could rewind it. Jamie Beth’s latest single, “In May,” is exactly that kind of magic. A dream wrapped in melody, soaked in nostalgia, and built for anyone who’s ever longed to relive a perfect moment they know they’ll never get back.

Hailing from Newcastle, Jamie Beth brings a uniquely Northern soul to her indie pop sound — combining delicate, emotive vocals with the kind of storytelling that doesn’t need fireworks to leave an impact. “In May” isn’t loud, it doesn’t shout — but it aches in the best way. It’s soft, wistful, and so full of feeling you can almost touch it.

This song feels like flipping through an old photo album you didn’t realize would hurt to look at. It's Jamie reminiscing about last summer, longing for the beauty of days that once felt infinite. We all know that kind of time — a golden stretch of life when everything felt right, where the air was lighter, where someone’s presence meant everything. And then it ends. And you’re left trying to chase a feeling you’ll never quite get back.

Jamie’s delivery on this track is where the real magic happens. There’s a sweetness, almost innocence, in how she sings — like someone holding a memory too precious to fold away. You can feel the distance between then and now in every line. There’s no anger here, no drama. Just the soft ache of missing something beautiful, and the quiet realization that you can’t recreate it. That time only moves forward.

Sonically, “In May” lives in a dreamlike space — subtle indie-rock textures paired with her unmistakable pop vocals. It’s the perfect balance of raw and refined, the kind of sound that feels both intimate and cinematic. It plays like a diary entry you were never meant to hear, but are grateful you did.

Jamie Beth isn’t just writing songs — she’s preserving moments. Drawing inspiration from her roots and local icons like Lindisfarne, Dire Straits, and Sam Fender, she’s part of a new generation putting Northern talent front and center. With “In May,” she proves you don’t need a massive chorus or over-the-top production to make people feel something real. You just need honesty. And Jamie's got that in abundance.

So go ahead. Put “In May” on. Let it carry you back to your own golden hour. Let yourself miss what you miss. That’s the beauty of this track — it doesn’t ask you to move on. It just sits with you in the memory, lets you feel it all, and reminds you that some moments are too good to let go.

Jamie Beth has done something truly special with this one. “In May” isn’t just a song — it’s a time machine dressed in indie pop.
