Thickshake - Through the Daylight
Imagine having the perfect world described to you in a song—that’s what Through the Daylight by Thickshake is! The singer-songwriter’s major form is to write green songs that are as fresh as mint with crisp notes. Alex (that’s right, Thickshake isn’t his real name. Shocked? So am I!) has a knack for writing music that has a personal touch to it but with pop beats that won’t fail to get your feet moving. While Alex records all his music at home, all his music is crisp and exquisitely edited. Right from the start, Alex stretches out the canvas and paints vivid pictures with his music and lyrics. The track opens a window into one of the most endearing desires that his heart holds. Thickshake gives us a glimpse of paradise that holds small mundane moments dear to the heart. The track has a guitar backing that packs a punch, adding to the pop ambience that Alex is building. The track plays with an interesting juxtaposition; while the backing and music are upbeat and pop, the lyrics are personal, adding more texture to the wild number that Through the Daylight is. A song such as this that has such rich imagery and longing is similar to a film like 50 First Dates. Both the film and the song deal with deep and heavy topics, all related to love but in a light and airy manner. Thickshake, aka Alex, is a magician of a songwriter and artist; his music is a mystery box that is layered and soul-touching. If you want to listen to more of his work, check out the links attached.
