The hot weather may be the natural time to usher in bouncy, buoyant songs suitable for a summer soundtrack of sun and sea, balmy nights, and fun-filled days, but such golden days, perhaps the metaphorical ones as much as the actual, are also the perfect time to be reflective and thankful. And “Easy Times” is the perfect embodiment of that thought.
seeTrees might be known for a more rock-centric sound via recent singles like “Reliving It” and “Light’s Out in the City”, but this time out, they turn those energies into gentler sonic waves, blending country balladry into this underplayed hand and coming out with a sound that feels like an Eagles make over for the modern age. And there is nothing wrong with that, after all, they did alright for themselves.
Reflecting on the fact that recent struggles are now behind them, the couple at the heart of the story faces a future that runs more smoothly, leaves their troubles behind, brings happier times, and is less of a battle… you know, easier.
It’s not quite a ballad; there is enough beat and drive to keep a more pronounced groove going. With layers of guitar, wandering between restrained riffs and distant squalls, and that chiming piano which plays the lead role, it is a fantastic song and the perfect theme tune for anyone anticipating a better future. And who couldn’t do with one of those?
