Firstly, thank the Lord for Zane Lowe’s podcasts and for introducing me to this track. In fact, for introducing me to the best track I’ve heard in a long, long time. It’s actually the best indie song, the best folk song, and above all the best love song I’ve heard in a long, long time.
To listen to it makes you feel like you’ve discovered sound and music for the very first time; it’s like choirs of angels combined with a heavenly and dreamlike quality, to produce a synergy which immediately hits you in the heart.
Not 100% convinced with “Peaceful the World Lays Me Down”, liking the odd song here and there, “First Days of Spring” looks like it’s set up to be where the band will truly find their feet, especially due to this stunning and epic first single.
A song for the broken-hearted, a song for everyone to relate to whether in love, out of love, been-there-done-that, or as the opening line resounds: “This is a song for anyone…” leaves it open for mass appeal. The faith, the hope, the light the conviction, and the positivity that lies within the chanting “Blue skies are calling”, truly makes you believe that you can “do anything to be happy”, even though it’s “hard”, and that times will get better. The struggle and beauty bind together through both notes and words, in order to create this spell-binding effect.
An enchanting lullaby to some, or even a strengthening comfort, “Blue Skies” is astounding and will prove to be timeless. I only hope that it will be as highly regarded as a classic as I consider it to be, and just as cherished.
