The imagery & concept are so simple, so relatable, yet this feels like a brand new scene – an alternate ending to your favourite film perhaps.
Music
The heartfelt energy & realness of this song is not often found among such an electronically complex piece of music, or at least not at such a high quality.
This concept of getting over it is so much easier said than done, so the set up of this song works brilliantly in representing the journey through dwelling & on into freedom.
This idea of being a living festival is somewhat neglected in modern life – there’s so much to work hard for (rightly so), but it’s equally important to soak up every second of this beautiful journey.
This meeting of the organic & electronic is notable throughout. The possibilities are unlimited when you get the songwriting down in such a way as this.
The RnB-fusion producer & songwriter has been playing the saxophone since the 4th grade – this gem of a trait comes through beautifully throughout the single.
The good vibes you might hope for as the sun sets on a long day. The concept & music go hand in hand, creating this arena within which you can observe, relax & consider.
The indie-rock essence is the ability to connect with regular people. The more you hear of this caterpillar analogy or metaphor, the more inspiring it is.
The track doesn’t arrive covered in glitter, it warms you with a hopeful musical backdrop, it grips you with a heartfelt presentation of poetry & character.
The further you get, the better it sounds. Structurally there are many occasions when you really appreciate the unpredictability – the fitting freshness.
This could well be the best release from Grant Smith so far. A stunning song that develops in a simple yet immensely satisfying way. A great piece of music.
Chemical Refugee’s authentic presentation of hard-hitting, soulful electronic rock is the sort that satisfies in a refreshing & partly nostalgic way.
