The keen reader with gladly remember The Marsh Family, unique and poignant family folk outfit from Britain. Writing about their previous effort ‘My Storybook’, we proudly declared: “they will bring a smile to your face, and perhaps some much-needed solace, especially in those troubled times”. We stand by our words. Returning to the scenes with a brand new record, The Marsh Family confirms the magic quality of their vocal harmonies and soothing acoustic tones. ‘See Your Face Again’ is a beautifully written gem, both from a sonic and lyrical standpoint.
Encastoned into an emotional, fragile folk-pop arrangement, featuring acoustic guitar, orchestral strings and light percussions, The Marsh Family describes the reality of being a refugee in our complex world. Written for Refugee Week 2023, the song particularly embraces the theme of #compassion, asking the listeners to understand and be compassionate.
Afghan musician Ali Esmahilzada features on the track – now based in the US, his nuanced violin performance appears on the record, taking the record to new heights. Speaking about ‘See Your Face Again’, The Marsh Family explains: “The song aims to encourage empathy and connectedness through its lyrics, simplicity, harmonies, and collaborative vibe.”
