"time moves slowly for the lonely living in the here and now..."
"Saw You In A Dream" by Philadelphia based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist Kerin Maguire is a keeper. Even though it starts unceremoniously with sounds that feel sort of like a 70's Billy Joel song underwater, it literally carries you away. The pushed swaying euro pop cadence, the 80's fantasy pop whooshes but, most especially Maguire's vocal aesthetic. has a wonderful embrace. Her sonic countenance with her own unique pronunciations (that sounds like an Irish lilt) in combination with her wanderlustful, innocent yet prescient lyrics inspired by the story of poet Emily Dickinson had me thinking of twee pop, of an amalgam of iconic artists like Six Pence None The Richer, ABBA and the Cranberries.
In the end, "Saw You In A Dream" feels like a first love or sharing rocky road ice cream with a longstanding love. Add this track to any playlist and life will feel better.
