Setting the mood with genuine connection to the moment, Jerry Pines wrote his latest single Peaceful Waters whilst on a sailing trip in the Sea of Cortez, Baja California Sure, Mexico….
Inspired by John Steinbeck’s Log From The Sea Of Cortez, the song adopts of a softly dreamy folk groove, and follows short lines of poetic imagery and self-reflection that prove both relatable and calming to listen through.
Uniting subtle Latin influences with a warmer Folk-Pop familiarity and a beach-side flow, Peaceful Waters emerges with a sense of being a slept-on classic from a simpler era. However, its clarity and calm portray a definite glimpse of serenity – the sort that’s essential right now, within an otherwise chaotic modern world.
The release also includes a second song, the more upbeat Country swagger of Magnificent Frigatebird elevating the energy distinctly after the peaceful acoustic intimacy that came before. Both tracks together highlight the versatility and artistic freedom of Jerry Pines as a creative.
To delve into the blissful scenes and story of Peaceful Waters is to remind oneself of the purity of life – the natural order of the world outside of the rat-race and the screens that hold us captive.
Beautifully written and performed, with a subtle twist of unmistakable identity to the voice and writing style.
