The acoustic guitar strums keep “heaven to you” by Dead Boyfriend centered like a looped mantra giving its fluid melodies a kind of outline and structure. Violin hovers at the edges of the song like a hummingbird. The spectral keyboard tones flow about in cool colors adding melancholic and introspective hues to a spare soundscape. All while the vocals seem to convey impressionistic images of sense memories attached to feelings shared with the smallest of circles. Listening to the song feels like getting a glimpse into a secret, deeply personal world with vulnerabilities laid bare in safety. Something about its combination of textural rhythms and ethereal tones works itself into your mind with a spirit of therapeutic calm that lingers with you long after the song’s conclusion.
