Featured Tune: "Wilson" by Wotts

The new single released by the Wotts, namely “Wilson”, is the perfect summer song one can imagine themselves listening to during a long drive, with the warm wind hitting their face. It starts with an 80s vibe and summer melody, that immediately makes you picture the beauty of the summer.

If you dig deeper into the song, you realize that the lyrics are just as deep as the melody. You hear the singer talking about “running all morning, running till evening, always got something pulling on my shin”. It shows how one can be so caught up in the mundane responsibilities of life and how there is actually no way out of it.

Then with the lyric “think of you when I get low”, the singer makes us feel a certain type of way. Reminding us of the people who we want around us when we don’t feel the best versions of ourselves. This idea of someone is further clarified by the lyric “She got me feeling ‘cause I know we got something”, hinting at the uncertainty of their relationship with that particular person.

This whole song is a combination of indie, punk, and 80s vibe, where Wotts has beautifully blended the drums, electric guitar, and back vocals. The stretched music before the post-chorus starts with the drums only, making your heart beat along the rhythm of the drums and then slowly adding up the guitar to intensify the music.

To make it simple, this song is beautifully composed to listen to in any setting, whether it’s a road trip, boredom, or when you are missing someone dear. It is an all-rounder, timeless masterpiece!
