The track starts off grounded in the familiar: soft fingerpicked guitars, a tender vocal line, a reflective tone that’s very “man-stares-out-train-window-thinking-about-life”. You think you’ve got it clocked. It’s nice, clean, maybe even a bit safe. But then the chorus creeps in—and suddenly, things get interesting.
Is it breaking new ground? No. But it’s quietly great at what it’s doing.
Production-wise, this is classic bedroom folk-pop elevated by taste. It doesn’t aim for some huge cinematic climax, but it’s incredibly well-shaped. You can tell it was built by someone who knows how to leave room for the song to breathe.
SCORE 8.2/10
Cool track. Solid delivery. Smooth replay value.
