Gary Dranow and The Manic Emotions deliver a contemplative acoustic performance in their latest single, ‘Bodywise’. It is a soft yet deep atmosphere that gets into themes of self-love, body image, and the quality of beauty. Gary Dranow is usually known for his charismatic, experimental rock productions but this lyrical melody unveils a sensitivity. The band chronicles a story of a girl whose image of beauty was shattered as a child but grew to learn that she is beautiful and worthy of love. It is classic, candid, and charming in a way that is reminiscent of John Mayer, Leonard Cohen, and Jason Mraz.
Bodywise means to think about the body wisely, in a way that is true to you and not a result of comparison and critique. Gary has always been a lyrical genius and that makes a great impact in this inspiring context. From a jingling acoustic guitar frame, the soundscape grows with violin textures and orchestral highs. A lush electric guitar soliloquy follows dispelling a introspective cast. And then the climax forms with enlightened with grace, perspective, and Bodywise. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
