A Color of September has released a new single, “You See Right Through Me” and this is one of those songs that reminds us that a song doesn’t need to be big or busy to make a mark. Leave the loud sounds and heavy production aside. Here, a few lines of vocals, a gentle delivery and a simple arrangement are doing all the work.
The song runs for just 1 minute and 15 seconds, which makes it easy to play again as soon as it ends. There isn’t a long build or a big change waiting around the corner, and that’s part of its charm. It knows what it wants to do and doesn’t add things just to fill the space. The soft backing gives his voice good space and the small changes in the instrumental help keep the song moving.
There is an idea behind the song. It touches on wanting to know that your presence matters to someone, and that they notice you for who you are. The lyrics are not packed with complicated lines or hidden meanings, but there is enough emotion in the way they are delivered to make the message land. Sometimes a simple thought can stay with us longer than a page of clever words.
A Color of September is already known for this kind of vocal led sound, and this single is a good example of why it works. The voice is the centre of everything here, and the delivery is soothing without becoming dull. We would happily hear more from him. If this one works for you, check out his next single, “Last Week in April”. We’ll leave the track below the picture because it’s worth a listen, too. Enjoy 🙂
