Song of the Day: Sad Happy

Today’s song is Sad Happy by Circa Waves.

Indie Rock.
I listened to this track more than anything else during the spring lockdown of the 2020 pandemic.
Quite straightforward to say I was jamming.

I just love the way this track loops. Yes, it’s repetitive, but the hook is phenomenal.

I know this feels like a dream but the good times will come round.

Everything about that guitar progression (especially once it slows) is pleasant.

There are those soothing surf-rock elements that pop up when things get softer.
When it’s energetic, it’s manic as hell. When it’s slow, the whole track becomes more melancholy.
A nice duality there.
