It features a successful combination of two genres, country and indie pop. This mix makes the single completely unlike anything else. Speaking of the overall impression, it is quite a full one. I would even call it enveloping. The track, much like love itself, captures you entirely, leaving no free space. The guitar parts are delivered with some kind of incredible, jeweler-like precision. The rhythmic picking in the verses sounds pleasant. It creates a sense of freedom, as if inner feelings and emotions are breaking free. The guitar sound sets exactly the right atmosphere and blends beautifully with the vocals of the performers. The drums, while sounding confident, never overpower. They simply set the right rhythm. Overall, while listening, you feel a gentle sadness, and that is perfectly normal, because love itself is something deeply multifaceted.
