739) Jade Imagine - Walkin' Around

Judging by this piece from them, Melbourne's Jade Imagine are masters of poeticism, simplicity, and self-reflection. The track, which was written by lead vocalist Jade McInally and fellow band member Tim Harvey, uses brilliant storytelling to serve as a reflection of everything that went through Jade's mind at the time. It starts with her making fun of herself for being uncommitted, uninspired, single, and skeptical, and moves on to her just clearing her head by taking a walk around. The mellow indie-rock sound that accompanies her takes the same optimistic turn the lyrics do at that point - the instrumentation and McInally's singing become more open and louder in volume as she recalls seeing a clairvoyant that told her "the ocean was [her] saving grace", and that she should move to live by the beach. She uses this as a positive thought to focus on and the song ends on that note. In a stylish homage to The Verve's iconic "Bitter Sweet Symphony" music video, the singer is shown walking across a busy street and hitting passers-by as she goes. We find this symbolism very cool and appropriate for the song's meaning and appreciate how the band used the reference to achieve a deeper meaning when combining it with the lyrical side of the production.
Enjoy! ♪
