A New Single from Ben Bostick Will Bring Up Your Spirit
A new single from Ben Bostick comes through as a very vast and spacious dream pop track that blends elements of R&B smoothly. The combination of those two soundscapes works wonders for the track.
"Flying High" is purely addictive, and it's not just the music that grabs hold of you and takes you along for the ride; it's the lyrics as well.
Lyrically, the song is about just being in this magical place emotionally, as it would seem.
One of those places where it feels like no matter what is happening in the outside world, you're still on this high and it feels amazing so you never want it to end.
This could be about being in love, or just being in this mentally and spiritually amazing place in life. Whoever's listening might take this in different ways, but the sentiment and message are quite clear.
It feels amazing to be in this place in life so much that it feels as though anything happening around it doesn't matter.
You just never want to come down from this beautiful high that you're on.
This is something that I found very connective because there are times in life when you just feel this way. It could be falling in love, but it could also just be vibing.
Again, it really depends on who's listening, but either way, it's very relatable to a lot of us who have experienced it.
I love music like this mostly because it causes memories to pop into your head. memories of your own life that you relate to lyrically.
I also really enjoy how Ben was able to articulate those feelings and emotions into words, let alone words and music, which is quite incredible because no matter if we're feeling down or up, a lot of us can't pull that off.
It's not easy to articulate how we're feeling into words or music, for most of us, anyway.
Ben seems to pull this off without a hitch, and that vibe and aesthetic really shine, making perfect sense when you hear the song.
Musically, this track has an amazing sort of swing feel to it, and there are airy synth pads that make it spacious and expansive, while the beat is dripping with reverb, so the entire thing feels vast and beautiful.
This was an awesome element of the track because you get to escape into it on multiple levels, because of the music and the lyrics together.
The vocal performance is excellent because it brings color and brightness to the track as well.
Don't get me wrong, the track is bright already, but the vocals bring another layer to the track, along with amazing melodies that stick with you for a long time after the track has ended.
The textural layers of sound are outstanding and can really wrap themselves around you, and it's got this ethereal tonality to it, which gives it that drifting or floatiness.
I really enjoyed soaking this track in, and if you listen to it with headphones on, you can really do that perfectly because you can hear all these beautiful layers.
This was such a spirited track and really had a wonderful sentiment that was so infectious, it just makes you feel good, simply from listening to it.
Most definitely check this track out, and again, do it with headphones so you can take it all in and see how it affects your mood, because I guarantee you, it will.
