A track to flip your dispositions from ‘Why Me’ to ‘Why so serious’, brighten yourself up to Kivikki’s lighthearted indie pop opus, ‘Sunny day’.
Listening to this feels like gently pulling aside the curtains on a long night and letting the fresh, bright morning energy in. It’s uplifting, outgoing, and downright enthusiastic about getting you basking in the bright sun and going about doing the things you love!
The track opens in whimsical, playful fashion. Shimmering synths and playful, light piano & string melodies raise the energy right away. Leading into a bright opening verse, the vocals are sincerely optimistic.
‘Enjoy a glass of good white wine.
Treat yourself, go out to dine.
Visit all the foreign places.
See some new exotic faces.
Happy faces will make you high.
Drink in all the clear blue skies,
sunny day.’
The lyrics, uncomplicated, point at a crucial missing link to how most people are going about their lives. They’ve seemingly lost that passion for life. That drive to go out their comfort zones, see new places, have new experiences. Most people are trapped in a vicious life cycle. One that keeps that locked up in their homes or at their workplace, with little to no time or energy to even get themselves enough sunlight.
The words sang in a beautiful upbeat tenor by vocalist Henriette Viskum invites listeners to get out there and enjoy their lives once more. To give love a chance. To go out for fun and do it for free! Meaning that there doesn’t always need to be a compelling reason or detailed plan behind a simple sunny day outing. All it takes is a perspective shift.
Musically, the track leans into a retro pop ambience and a steady upbeat tempo and pitch all throughout. If there was ever a track to pull one of from the depths of despair and depression, it’s this one!
