The track begins off as a drizzle. With the glinting golden strings of the guitar in the backdrop, James’ warm and comforting baritones swells with a genial sentiment that grips the listener. A marching lines of banjos and an army of beats soon flush into the soundscape. The roughness of these country-rock features is softened by neo-classical violin melodies that fan across to give it an almost highland like folk allure. As we inch towards the climax, the artist achieves a magnificent simultaneity of instrumentation to achieve a grandeur that you’ll want to journey through over and over.
