Song Review/ Folk : Fish and Scale’s ‘Holy Man’
Fish and Scale has just released his latest track, ‘Holy Man’. A folk song that is as light as air itself. It has a floating rhythm, suspended in a way that feels like it’s still but also in momentous motion. Like a soft drizzle that has a way of drenching a person without his knowledge. That’s how this song feels. The emotion of the song sneaks up on you because of how surreally light and gossamer the track is. And the vocals, rustic and raw just build into the lithe dimensions of the soundscape, evocative and vulnerable without weighing it down.
There is such an intricate technique that weaves through the track. Kudos to the artist of course. And this floating castle in the sky kind of track slowly leads the listener to the humbling yet transcending idea behind the song. That we all, as humans and living beings, have divinity inside us, and what we might be seeking in places of worship, rituals and prayers is a way of returning back to ourselves. Listen Now!
