Song in Focus : 'The Wisp Sings' by Winter Aid

It has been ages since I have had written anything spontaneous for anybody! Recollecting what life has hacked out of me ruthlessly in the last three years, if there is something I regret more than anything - it is the subtle but gradual yet reluctant manifestation of negligence in the art of empathy. I have not written an unprofessional letter in more than a year, have stopped singing in public and have cut down innumerable connections for no apparent reason. And although this new found 'professionalism', as they might call it - does imbibe a certain confidence in you, it also takes away a hell lot of vitality, and the ability to sense what others might be feeling. 

This was a song I heard only recently - has not even been twenty four hours and I am writing about it already! The song has a very fluent, very mild and hence a very pungent drive imbibed in its body. That is the best and the worst part of it and would probably leave a lasting impression only on hearts that adore lyrics-focused songs, ballads and a certain form of poetry that is very easy on the eyes. 





The entire composition looks like a floating kite on a lush, green valley - no strings attached or a white handkerchief embroidered by a few loving fingers that you encounter for only a brief period of time, or a white dove's wings glistening in the morning Sun and although there's an almost painful thrust of melancholia carefully buried at the core, there is also an inherent kind of beauty to the entirety of what it is - something that doesn't fade easily. 


Interestingly, the title of the album, which also happens to be a line from the song : 'Murmur of the Land' is a very catchy phrase but yet so deep when paired with "This is the sound of love's marching band". It actually gets very hard for people who love indie/alternative to figure out flaws from something so prominently beautiful! 

I honestly haven't heard any other composition by 'Winter Aid' but I would be really intrigued to listen to more of their work anytime soon. Recommendations, anybody?
