A woody wonderland is what Ray Johnson has established in his latest release Carried by the Wind. He successfully takes his listeners on a breathtaking journey with his whimsical guitar playing and mystical vocals. Ray’s voice is the nectar that fills the sun-drenched meadow created within this track.
Right from the first strum of the guitar, Ray evokes an imagery that is tucked away behind years of memories. He fills our senses with a forest full of lush notes that ride the backs of gentle winds between the trees. Especially with a voice like that? When he says “You don’t get caught up in the moment, you take a different trip.” he invites us on this journey and he takes his time establishing a connection with the listeners slowly drawing us in with his rustic vocals. His guitar works exude warmth and comfort, elevating the atmosphere significantly. Ray Johnson has an impeccable eye for detail and Carried by the Wind only drives home that fact.
The track fits most sub-genres and themes, be it love or self-discovery. And What if happens to be both of them. With a star-studded cast such as Daniel Radcliff and Adam Driver, the film never ceases to amaze you. Carried by the Wind is just the right addition to the film’s playlist. He swiftly swoops you off your feet as he gently sways you to the rhythm of the music on the track with his voice. If you have a folder on Pinterest called Cabincore, this track is your vibe. Ray lulls you to sleep as you are cradled in the arms of nature.
