VVARD’s single “YOU” comes in like the kind of morning when you wake up in a good mood and the sun bright in the sky but not invasive like something that might happen in the later part of early spring. You wake up without any need for an alarm, surprisingly refreshed and looking forward to whatever comes your way in the day ahead. The melodic drones swirling over the vocals while the bass pulses almost imperceptibly below to put some spring in your step. The gentle guitar line in the middle of the song adds a touch of nostalgia to the hopeful tone of the entire song. Described as “the perfect teenage love soundtrack,” Verena Ward’s words spell out how this romance is giving a lot to think about in the best way and allowing the freedom to feel all the feels instead of having to hold it back for fear of scaring anyone off. And yet the song has the aforementioned spirit of lightness that one hopes one would have while in love, the kind of lightness that uplifts your mood without effort and needing no pretext. Listen to “YOU” on Spotify.
