Livingmore and the beautifully drawn wonderment / optimistic breaths of "To Be True"

 

"Feel like I’m aimlessly moving can’t tell what to do / there’s no tears to exit an end just an endless pursuit / I can’t believe this happened darling but gotta face what I new / sometimes some things are meant to be true..."


The beautifully drawn wonderment / optimistic breaths of "To Be True", by Los Angeles based Livingmore, is the kind of track that feels like road trips with those you love. It has the ability to flush away seasonal (or non seasonal) bouts of depression, it lifts you up. As timeless as sunsets, the perfectly grounded blend of folk rock, Euro pop, twang pop and sixth grade campfires songs, the sweep and exuberant joy has me thinking of an amalgam of 
ABBA, of Dolly Parton, of Debbii Dawson and of Fleetwood Mac, maybe because it hugs you both in a beautifully nostalgic way while also feeling spiritual and I don't even mean religious but spiritual as the sort of connective intangible tissue that connects us all. 

Key to this embracing sound is the running cadence, the propulsive rhythms pushed by that great Western noir hollow body electric guitar tonality, the sort of rockabilly glimmering voicing, the synth orchestrations, rolling bass lines and, of course, Spenser Livingston's beautifully endearing soaring vocals. This is a perfect song.

 LYRICS   

Feel like I’m aimlessly moving can’t tell what to do
there’s no tears to exit an end just an endless pursuit
I can’t believe this happened darling but gotta face what I new
sometimes some things are meant to be true
not that I can’t pick up what's left
I know what to do
I already faced what’s there
Just gotta lie in it to
pinch me cause I’m way to scared
Of what I already new
sometimes some things are meant to be true
Oh’s (repeat)
Sometimes some things are meant to be true
Now I need to be alone
With nothing to do (nothing to do)
How I want to hold you near
And look at the view (look at the view)
when it’s gone
There is a way
A new Path to go through
When we know some things are meant to be true
When we know something’s are meant to be true
When we know some things are meant to be true
