Rusty Reid - All Through My Days
The summer sun is embedded in every word that Rusty Reid has tucked into his latest release—All Through My Days. Reid’s music is the unique kind that connects the spiritual to the political. This Houston-based singer-songwriter has a fun approach to his sonic design. He brings in several streams of music in order to create an ocean of a song. Most of his music tends to fall into the pop-country style of music. This new release is more pop and feel-good than most of his numbers. All Through My Days is a breeze of a song; listening to it once isn’t enough. There is something so captivating when you use landscape as a metaphor for love. Reid writes his lyrics with a sense of freedom and abandon, the same way one falls in love. His soundscape also matches this feeling; it is saccharine-laced soft sounds punctuated by the guitar and the drums. The song has a little bit of everything: lightness, danceiness, and being carefree. He sings all this, and yet he acknowledges the fickle nature of love and says, "Love anyway." The song suits the love we see between Mary Anning and Charlotte Murchison in Ammonite. Between Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan, they tell us the most basic thing: it is easy to choose love. Whether or not it lasts isn’t the question, but choosing it consistently is what counts. Rusty Reid makes his way through the dewy mist of the mountains to tell us that.
