It's a walk in the afternoon sunshine; in the style of an Elliott Smith, Alex Siegel makes groove entirely out of a guitar strum and the barest of drum kits. The soft-spoken lead vocal combines with a rich assortment of acoustic embellishments to create a thick forest of plucked strings swaying beneath the airy falsetto.
Using a warm and delicate mix that balances piano against dry drums and some layered vocals, Siegel warns us not to be too careful in life. Remember to follow the signs:
“There must be a reason
why you never left my mind
I’m a daydreaming pilot,
flying blind
to you...”— Alex Siegel
