Amos Waits Floats Through a Slow Moving Parade of the Shades of Romantic Possibilities on Dream Pop Single “Berlin Blue”

The sound of rain, tinkling of glasses and ghostly synth tones wafting through before lingering splashes of melody bring us into Amos Waits’ “Berlin Blue.” It has an early morning feel, or one of being up way long into the night. When Waits’ vocals begin it’s like a reflective narrative to self on recent events and overthinking what happened when meeting someone new with whom one feels a real connection but mixed signals either real or imagined are contemplated and examined for what’s real and what might be wishful thinking and giving into one’s fantasies that aren’t rooted in something mutual. The details tonal sweep of the song is a little like inhabiting a dream where the ghosts and veils of a life that could be but may not be float by as tantalizing possibilities if only they weren’t delusions and yet holding on to these phantoms of joy isn’t all bad even if it amounts to nothing because having nothing can often feel worse.
