Although ‘Sing Me A Song’ has all the hallmarks of music made within timeless folk traditions, it also shimmers with folk-pop modernity, perhaps a reminder that whilst musical tastes and sonic styles change over the years, the core tenets that made a genre great in the first place always find their way back to the surface. That duality lies at the heart of this simple, and simply seductive song.
Firefly Search Party describe their mission as simply being two people looking to make beautiful music that connects with people as it heads towards the light, and I couldn’t think of a better summation of this latest single.
Upbeat and acoustically light, it finds additional energy in the drive of the drums, oozes optimism, jaunts and jogs along joyously, and is a reminder to enjoy the moment, both in the sense of making the most of those fleeting encounters as you travel through the world and perhaps in the more overarching sense, a reminder that life is short; its moments and minutes are not to be squandered.
The lyrics might seem simple, but these gorgeous boy-girl harmonies get to the heart of everything that matters in life. Make memories, it says; live life so that when you come to the end of your days, you can revel in a life well lived.
A simple message, perhaps, but maybe life is that simple…if you want it to be.
