There is an ingrained sense of joy, happiness, and contentment that runs through both the music and the lyrical sentiment of this latest one from Thickshake. It’s a song of simple pleasures, a celebration of the feeling you get just by spending time with that significant other. And that’s it, that is what is at the heart of “Through the Daylight.” No mindbending philosophies, no complex analysis, no deep and meaningful theories…except for the fact that love is perhaps the most deep and most meaningful sentiment you can ever express to someone.
And if the lyrics are infectiously accessible, the music is doubly so. Upbeat, lilting riffs that make you feel better just by hearing them, jaunty indie jangle meets pop smarts, a song that puts a smile on your face and a spring in your step.
This anthem to love and escapism, togetherness and making the most of the moment is the product of one man, Alex Budrodeen, a multi-instrumentalist who created the track from first thought to final mix, a real D.I.Y. artist if ever there was one.
If this song proves anything, it is that the simplest and most honest expression can take you a long way and that you don’t need big budgets to get a song noticed, not if your heart is in the right place.
