Introduced by a charming acoustic guitar, ‘Daydreaming’ soon unveils Bart Topher’s dark, vivid vocals, wrapping the listeners into an intense and cathartic lyrical journey. There’s a lot to be said for the evocative energy in this song – there’s veiled nostalgia that slowly grows on you, sparking a stream of memories which might or might not be poignant and sad, depending on individual experiences.
Penned by Swedish musician and songwriter Backstrom, ‘Daydreaming’ develops at a slow pace, incorporating country elements (such as a steel guitar) and folk-like fiddles. The result is an expansive yet intimate piece that’s meaningful and relatable, the perfect fit for the dark times we are living in. In a sense, Backstrom throws us a lifeline, a way to process deep feelings through a musical medium. For that, we are truly grateful.
Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, he explains: “It’s a melancholic country song about feeling ”stuck in the wrong place” and yarning for some adventure”. Look out for the project’s upcoming album, ‘Dark Clouds’, releasing on November 13th.
