Song Review/ Singer-Songwriter : Brandes’s ‘Love in Two Degrees’
Brandes is a singer-songwriter and musician. He has just released his latest single, ‘Love in Two Degrees’, a track that forges a way through heartache and pain towards healing and happiness. So many times, when we are struck with failure or rejection, we think it’s the end. Brandes is here to present the other degree, one that tends to usually come around.
The song is designed with sparing elements. The guitar acoustics are slow and measured. Vocals are not continuous, but have more of a spoken rhythm. Moments of contemplation, pieces of clarity that flow along the gentle river of the melodies. With progression, the tides turn. The melancholic drawl turns into a warm spring frame. From heartache, the track progresses to finding true love and happily ever after. It is interesting how the artist brings these themes and ambiences as design elements to the track. Gives us an immersive and pervasive experience of the theme. Good times will come.
