‘Settle’ by SEEDR is an immersive electronic track that captures the tautness of tension and stress. The song pulls you in with its immersive electronic melodies, which feel like a free fall at first, before taking turns that seem to push and pull.
The song takes its time to build a rich, engaging soundscape, one that feels calm and ambient at first. The lyrics come in like a sigh of sorts, urging rest, calm and restraint. The melodies feel like a tug-of-war between the part that wants calm and the one that wants to keep going.
Even as it’s going through the motions, ‘Settle’ never really does settle. It takes the listener through what feels like an expansive world, before the melodies and rhythms take on an abrupt change of tone, stormy and edged with a roughness, then back.
From ‘…Settle Down…” to “…Stay Put…”, even if only for a second before coming back to centre.
The lyrics urge calmness, whether it’s in the mind or externally, a calm that actually seems to intensify as the song goes on, even though its brief. The immersive soundscape and lyrics seem to tell the track’s story with great thought and care, allowing these elements to express the emotion they mostly intend.
‘Settle’ by SEEDR is an expansive track by the songwriter that feels hopeful, calm and even comforting. Its melodies are unique, taking many twists and turns that feel as expansive as they are immersive.
