‘Waltz With Me’ is the first single from indie-folk trio Something, Someone.
Perhaps obviously, the song is in three quarters and the acoustic guitar leads in, gently nailing down the rhythm.
The focal point comes from the vocals of Morgan Woods (the hook melody in the chorus being a highlight), and a cleverly written harmony arrangement with band mates Joe Djaelani and Rachel Elliot allows the song to breathe and progress naturally, showing a mature approach to composition.
Djaelani’s part in particular brings about new imagery and another dimension to the song’s already wistful personality, along with mandolin, this adds to a very pleasant climax.
The production is worth a mention too, a good amount of reverb on the instruments and vocals, and a professional sounding mix that proves once again how possible it is to produce a well-rounded and impressive sounding piece of music without an astronomical recording budget.
Waltz With Me by Something, Someone.
