Destiny (Zero 7 song)

Last updated

A downtempo torch song and ballad, [6] [11] "Destiny" is composed in C Phrygian mode, which is the third mode of the A-flat major scale. [12] [13] The chorus follows the chord progression of E6–dm7–Dmaj7–C. [12] Rachel Brodsky of Spin magazine called the tone of the track "placid". [10] Sia sings the verses while Barker accompanies her during the choruses. [6] The song tells the story of two lovers who are separated, with the narrator living in isolation while away from home and pining for her partner's company. Bored and homesick, she resorts to watching pornography in her hotel room. [7] [14] Even then, she continues to draw strength from her lover, as she believes they were destined to be together. [10]

Critical reception

Angelo De Robertis of Italian contemporary hit radio station Radio 105 praised the song, saying, "It's an extraordinary record," and comparing it to the works of French music duo Air. [15] In a November 2001 review of Simple Things for Billboard magazine, Michael Paoletta said that "Destiny" (along with another album track, "In the Waiting Line") could "comfort those in need of TLC". [16] In a later Billboard review, published in January 2002, he went on to compliment the "smoldering" vocals of Sia and Barker and wrote that the track was "chilled to perfection". [17] Robb Patryk of American online magazine SoulTracks said of "Destiny", "The track has a swirling, trip-hoppy vibe, and Sia lays her incredibly supple and soulful voice atop it like whipped cream". [18] Radio & Records named in their "Record of the Week" on their 1 February 2002 issue, with columnist Katy Stephan referring to the song as "more comfortable than a sofa," noting its smooth vocals, rich melody, and chilling loops. [11] Another Radio & Records columnist, Dan Reed, praised the way in which the voices of Sia and Barker blend during the chorus. [19]

Smooth Radio writer Tom Eames ranked "Destiny" as Zero 7's best track. [20] BBC writer Christian Hopwood called Sia's vocals "dulcet" and praised her collaboration with Barker. [21] Lily Moayeri of American music magazine Under the Radar also praised Zero 7's alliance with Sia, labelling the song as "unforgettable". [22] Reviewing the parent album for music website Sit Down/Listen Up, Thom Lieb said that "Destiny" would be a "great" song for weddings if not for the opening lines about watching pornography. [23] Stephen Dalton of British website NME wrote that while the song was not bad, it would satisfy only a particular audience for being "too nice" and a sleep-inducing track. [24]

Release and promotion

"Destiny" was included as the third track on Simple Things, released on 23 April 2001 to high anticipation, [3] [21] and was issued as the album's second single on 6 August 2001. [15] [25] The song made its debut on the UK Singles Chart at number 30 on 12 August 2001. [26] On 19 August, the song fell to number 46, then dropped to number 55 during its third and final week on the UK chart. [26] It is Zero 7's only song to peak within the top 40, [27] and it was Sia's second song to enter the top 40, following her debut single, "Taken for Granted", in 2000; she would not return to the top 40 until January 2012, when her collaboration with French DJ David Guetta, "Titanium", rose into the top 10. [28] In Scotland, the song peaked at number 35 on the week of its debut and also stayed within the top 100 of the Scottish Singles Chart for three weeks. [29] [30] [31] On the UK Indie Chart, which ranks songs released on independent record labels, the song attained a peak of number two. [32] As of November 2018, "Destiny" has garnered over 5.7 million streams in the UK alone since the Official Charts Company began tracking streams in 2014, and the song was certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry in July 2021 for sales and streams exceeding 200,000 units.

Internationally, the single's British sales alone registered on the Eurochart Hot 100 on Music & Media 's 25 August 2001 issue, when it appeared at number 99. [35] In the United States, the song was first added to national adult album alternative radio stations in November 2001. [36] Following a large number of radio additions on the week of 11 February 2002, [37] "Destiny" debuted at number 27 on the Radio & Records Triple A Top 30 Indicator listing on 22 February 2002. [38] As its airplay increased, it eventually dropped out of the indicator chart and entered the main Triple A Top 30 ranking, where it debuted and peaked at number 26 on 7 June 2002. [39]

Several music videos were created for the song. One of them, directed by Tommy Pallotta, [40] features rotoscoping, a process in which live-action footage is traced over frame-by-frame, turning it into an animated film; [41] it was this video that received plentiful airplay. [42] It is mostly animated in black and white, although it does feature sporadic red, orange, and yellow colouration. The video shows several downtrodden individuals travelling around a city, encountering romantic couples of all ages socialising, cuddling, kissing, or interacting with their children. The video completely colourises as it ends, showing a depressed woman staring out of a window. [43]
