Though the tone of the new Inner Oceans single “Saturday’s Eyes” is one of melancholic nostalgia it’s misty melodies are anchored in early morning mind-wandering. The way the song builds into a gentle flow of emotions and imagery suggests indulging moments when you can look back fondly on a time when you had a love or a time in your life that retains that kind of feeling when things seemed bright and easy and open. But it’s more. The song also expresses how even if that time and those relationships are gone you can revisit them and honor the experience and allow it to illuminate your life in the present rather than surrender to the conceit that things were always better way back when. The accompanying music video was shot on an iPhone during the final year of songwriter and singer Griffith Snyder’s marriage which brings to pairing of song and image a poignancy and presumably a refreshing generosity of spirit and not just the ache and hurt feelings that are in many songs made in the wake of the dissolution of a relationship. Snyder has been writing affecting and adventurous pop music for years and this is the latest in a string of worthwhile releases. Watch the video below and follow Inner Oceans at he links provided.
