839) Charlee Remitz - The Leftovers

Charlee Remitz's bedroom-produced synth-pop has an intriguing appeal to it. The dreamy sines and energetic pan flute notes make for a simplistic but very professional sound, and the lyrics are beautifully written. They describe a feeling of longing for a relationship, as well as hardships in dealing with the loss of a past one. The imagery of lines like "remind me to not be afraid of my bed when nobody's in it" goes through to the listener and conveys a powerful feeling in a way we're able to both visualize and connect with. The lyrics also paint an interesting picture that reflects the "five stages of grief" model, with the opening line showing denial ("No, I'm good, I'm perfect"), and building up by way of anger, bargaining, and depression, to acceptance in the final line ("I have to go home to the ruins in my empty rooms"). The atmosphere of the song combines a light-hearted soft pop instrumental with melancholic lyrics about a difficult emotion to deal with. It's that atmosphere, and the production in particular, that reminds us of skilful Australian musician Georgia Mae, whose music was featured on our blog twice. People who like her, or listen to any middle ground between indietronica and pop, are sure to dig this piece as well.
Enjoy! ♪
