The free Arcade piano sheet music has a length of 3:04 minutes and is inspired by the heartbreak of a loved one of Duncan’s, who unfortunately died.
Arcade is a love song; it is about a story of searching for the love of your life. The story behind the lyrics is about the hope of reaching something that seems impossible.
The composition of the Arcade song is inspired by movie soundtracks, consisting of 165 tracks.
The song has in its composition piano, vocals, guitar, and heavy drums, to enhance the anger and frustration of the singer.
