"When the streetlights glow I notice / The absence of your words / And when it comes to me you know that / You're always on my mind..."
The alternative twang pop iridescence, youthful stomped feelings of "SUNSET HEARTACHE" featuring Secret B, by the always engaging / endearing WINSTON VISTA, takes you aback, disarms you in many ways. Maybe it is the sad sludgy cadence, the even sadder slide guitar or the surprisingly beautiful whistling way far away from the dock of the bay, that makes you lean in ready to absorb it all. I have written about WINSTON ViSTA a handful of times and always appreciate the off kilter nature that you might think would soften the emotional edges but it never does, you feel the emo aspect as if you are momentarily just living in VISTA's sonic world built from the bottom up. I also dig the vocal blending which I assume to be self harmonies working. His productions always work like white picket fences leaning off center.
"SUNSET HEARTACHE" features Secret B on the track and on the Official Video- and while I am not sure if other such collaborations are in the works, this one certainly does in perfect ways.
WINSTON ViSTA shares:
"SUNSET HEARTACHE is a sun-drenched indie pop debut, blending bittersweet melodies with a western twang. Born from late-night studio sessions where I would lie on the floor strumming its core chords, the track captures the raw stillness of summer sunsets and dusk in the desert. With dreamy vocals from Secret B it’s a cinematic, emotionally rich slow-burn for fans of open skies and lost love."
LYRICS
When the streetlights glow I notice
The absence of your words
And when it comes to me you know that
You're always on my mind
You're the heartbeat of my thoughts
The one who makes my heart break
Through the floorboards
Before it bounds up
To the stars where you say yes
When I realize it's something to lose
And you realize it means something to you
(Running on the backstreets)
'Cause baby your always
Just out of reach
Just out of reach
Every time I find my way to you
You're just out of reach
Every thought goes back to you
I wonder when you'll see
You're the heartbeat of my thoughts
The one who makes my heart break
Through the floorboards
Before it bounds up
To the stars where you say yes
Complete all my thoughts
No loose ends hanging there
How could they know
How could they know?
You're the heartbeat of my thoughts
The one who makes my heart break
Through the floorboards
Before it bounds up
And when it comes to me you know that
You're always on my mind
You're the heartbeat of my thoughts
The one who makes my heart break
Through the floorboards
Before it bounds up
To the stars where you say yes
When I realize it's something to lose
And you realize it means something to you
(Running on the backstreets)
'Cause baby your always
Just out of reach
Just out of reach
Every time I find my way to you
You're just out of reach
Every thought goes back to you
I wonder when you'll see
You're the heartbeat of my thoughts
The one who makes my heart break
Through the floorboards
Before it bounds up
To the stars where you say yes
Complete all my thoughts
No loose ends hanging there
How could they know
How could they know?
You're the heartbeat of my thoughts
The one who makes my heart break
Through the floorboards
Before it bounds up
To the stars where you say yes
Say yes
Say yes
Say yes
Say yes
