I recently came across an emo song from Thailand, which was an unexpected delight for me. It’s rare to encounter emo music from that region, and discovering it made me incredibly happy. The track not only captures the essence of emo but also infuses it with a dreamy shoegaze vibe that I thoroughly enjoyed. The combination gives the song a captivating “dreamo” quality that resonates deeply.
Inspired by influential bands like American Football, Death Cab for Cutie, and Moving Mountains, this track beautifully blends various genres. It creates a unique sound that encompasses emotional lyrics and twinkly instrumentals, perfectly embodying the essence of what emo music is all about. Rather than relying on samples, the song showcases a raw and authentic sound that is palpable throughout the entire piece.
I found myself genuinely drawn to this music, and as a result, I’m eager to explore more from this talented band. I’m always on the lookout for new music from diverse scenes, and I must admit, I had very little knowledge of Thai music prior to this discovery. This experience has ignited my curiosity, and I would love to dive deeper into the Thai music scene.
I’ve been listening to the song on repeat, fully immersing myself in the poignant lyrics and the enchanting melody. Each listen reveals new layers and emotions, further deepening my appreciation for this newfound treasure.
You, a whisper in twilight
Lost in the folds of the night
You’re high to hide
You, stuck in the river’s flow
A secret the mountains know
You’re running high
Venture goes,
In the night and light
But yet unknown,
Millions undefined
I won’t go
I won’t know
I won’t grow
but I should go
Riding slow, with this feeling too
Dreams unfold, and flowers too
Flowers grow
