Savanna Leigh’s warm and breathy vocals on “reminders of you” linger ever so slightly like the memories that seem to trail her like a haunting. Leigh renders these feelings with a resonant familiarity and with a delicacy of expression that doesn’t simply try to process the feelings in that way we all wish we could with some efficiency and finality, to have closure even if that’s not always such a realistic way to operate as a human. Instead, the song is more like feeling those feelings again with an emotional honesty and coming to accept them as not things to be shed or discarded but part of who you are, a part that you can’t simply carve out of your mind but which you can remember and still find emotional energy within even if it doesn’t quite have the power to overwhelm you in the long run as they might if you simply buried them and pretended they didn’t exist. Leigh’s simple arrangement of spare guitar, minimal percussion and piano enhance the songwriter’s tonal richness in a song that with a wide open and vulnerable spirit.
