These New Puritans: Six

This was one that came out easy but as I was listening I had concerns about struggling. I think the issue there was that I felt I should have been writing something more than just about what was happening in the song.

Overall this covers the song fine enough. It doesn’t reveal everything which I think is good. Just could’ve been better overall had I said something beyond a base level.

These New Puritans’ “Six” is from Inside The Rose.

I hope you enjoy.

A bright sound, maybe some sort of organ shines on over something lower. They rise as a voice stretches into existence, but doesn’t quite make it. Another voice comes in, seemingly locked to piano keys. Those keys step up and down and all is gentle. All is grand and quiet and small.

The keys disappear and the voice that was attached comes through with a greater sense of smoothness. It is here. It is detached and it flows through the melody. It disappears. That other voice had changed its approach earlier and now it has more focus, and there’s now a sense of ease. A sense of peace and calm, and then it’s just the organ stretching out as it had been, carrying a blissfulness that seems tempered with melancholy, and the voice that remained comes back for a moment, and both fade out as the song ends.
