Memories, in many ways, act as a glue between our current selves and our past relationships. Even when two people drift apart, the portion of life that they spent together can’t be taken away, and furthermore, neither can their sense of connection, as it remains rooted through past memories. Speaking to this very theme, London-bred and LA-based artist DWY is here with a masterful new single, “Everytime I See You Again.”
As the first line of the song states, “my life is kinda stuck right now,” DWY’s latest release looks through the lens of how nostalgia can often become a transportive force, especially when life may not be the best in its current state. From a songwriting standpoint, the entire duration of “Everytime I See You Again” maintains this emotional complexity, noting the fact that seeing an old friend can bring a person right back to where they were when this old friend was in their life, regardless of the change that has occured since.
Bittersweet as it is, DWY paints this theme with a hopeful tint, illustrating the renewed presence of an old friend as a beacon of light, in many ways. The soul-stricken bassline and mesmeric guitar riffs further drive home this context, as DWY’s silky smooth vocals complement the instrumentation with a profound sense of intimacy. Resulting is a release that refuses to compromise emotional honesty, leaving it all out there as DWY alleviates his most personal emotions.
That said, “Everytime I See You Again” attests to DWY’s sky-high potential, so don’t sleep. Just three releases into his career, all signs are pointing up for the rising talent!
