“The melody is dark and deep and before the first lyric is delivered, you already feel the emotions.
The metaphor of the “Little Bird’ is one that will hauntingly speak to anyone that has ever made a personal sacrifice in the name of love, only to eventually realize you clipped your own wings ... for all the wrong reasons.”
“I felt every word.
I believed every word.
Sweet mournful vocals accompany this well-written song of longing. The piano and strings are the perfect accompaniment to this voice.
Fleeting describes much of life and Peridot has captured it oh so well with this release.”
“Most folk music beckons listeners to reflect upon woes and take us to a somewhat melancholic, yet serene, state of mind. We might think of something we have lost or are trying to find meaning in––realtionships, friendships or even just not knowing where life is taking you. Vetle Forsell’s “Strange Clouds,” aims to take us to this place of introspection. Originally from Norway, Forsell is heavily influenced by bands like Pink Floyd and Sufjan Stevens. The gentle crooning and steady acoustics compel listeners to float around, as he talks to us about these everchanging “strange clouds.” However dreamy the song may be, Forsell is far from being aloof. His lyrics imply a person grappling with self-realization. Definitely worth a listen to those who revel in indie-folk and a good pondering of life.”
