3 min read
I don’t know about you but have you lost someone or something soo dear to your heart that you wish they never left? I’ve been listening to this song from Dave Mohan, who is a songwriter, composer, and lyricist latest release “Somewhere Beyond the Blue” and man I been teary throughout the song. Such an emotional deep song that talks about loss and longing. The song features the hauntingly beautiful voice of Carolina de la Muella, and it’s the best relaxing song I’ve heard this month, it’s a soul piercing peace that resonates with everyone.
The composition of the song does not only resonates with everyone but also tells the ability and talent of Dave Mohan to create, genre mixture tracks, blending folk with fusion, neo-classical crossover, jazz, soft rock, and soul, and wow he writes and find beautiful ways of acoustic arrangements. Dave Mohan’s musical collaborations shine through in this piece, showcasing his ability to work seamlessly with international musicians and studio professionals.
“Somewhere Beyond the Blue” is a song that was inspired by a well-known Bach prelude (BWV 998). The piano that travels through the whole song by Dave, along with the solo cello and upper strings, provides a magical experience to Carolina de la Muella’s haunting vocals. The song was mastered by Simon Gibson at Abbey Road Studios, and I must say the song is a deep emotional ode.
The lyrics paints a clear picture of the final goodbyes, where you wish all your dreams comes true but fate has its own agenda. The memories oh dear friend, how you wish they never left and hope that you could achieve it all together. But you have to accept fate and have no regrets with hopes that you will meet again. When no one wronged anyone, nothing bad blood cos y’all had a heart of gold. I feel this in ma veins and I can’t get enough of the song, how TF can someone craft such lyrics, but the vocals is everything, the Carolina sang it, crazy crazily emotional, it’s teary and can’t let go off all those dreams and memories but we’ve to accept it with no regrets. The vocals, lyrics and delivery makes this song a super 10/10 and I must say it’s a must listen. Bravo Dave and Carolina you did magic with this one. The music video is everything, you must watch it and feel connected to the song even more.
According to Dave, this masterpiece was created to pierce your soul, heal and also to repair.
