Everything about Eliza Edens‘ new single is gentle. From its lyrical metaphors for pain and struggle to its seamless transitions, there’s a soft touch and a sense of delicacy in every little corner of “Ramble.” An uncomplicated beacon of light and hope in dark times, this folk tune is a calmly swaying antidote to all kinds of negative feelings.
The slide and swell of the lap steel and the distant shine of the bowed xylophone really expand this song’s sonic landscape and allow the melody blossom. Lyrically untangling hardship in terrestrial, skyward, and musical imagery, “Ramble” always returns to a comforting resolve. It’s the kind of song that settles snuggly into ears and hearts with one listen and only becomes more tender with every repetition.
Eliza Edens’s debut album, Time Away From Time, will be out April 17th. Listen to more Eliza Edens here.
