Sam Lily - Soothe
Healing can come in a lot of ways, but the most potent one is through music. Sam Lily presents and proves that in his soundscape, Soothe. The song highlights that music is a medium for processing heavy emotions and a source of healing. The jangly wash of guitars, the reverb-drenched ambiance, and the gentle rhythm of drums creates an evocative atmosphere. There is an air of melancholy in the music, however it is cleared by the golden, comforting winds of hope and bliss. Grounded and full of feeling, Sam’s voice embroiders heartfelt and sincere melodies onto the music. Hazy banjo motifs, lush harmonies, and misty guitar tunes creates an immersive feeling, allowing you to plunge into the music completely, each layer enveloping you and absorbing into you. Soothe is a food-for-the-soul kinda song. Listen to Soothe by Sam Lily here!
