A serenely captivating folk success, “Sunrise” comes via David & The Circumstances, the project of Dutch artist David Groeneweg. Finger-picked acoustic guitars and lush vocal introspection pair for an enjoyable progression, complementing a narration that depicts a personal journey that culminates in greater appreciation for the world. The track also includes a gorgeous music video, filmed by David’s partner Tanya Gupta — alternating glimpses of Groeneweg’s performance and morning footage from a trip to Norway.
“Sunrise on our way home, sunrise as we travel alone,” Groeneweg’s vocals let out, aptly accompanied by the video’s darkened Norwegian open-road journey through twisting mountains. Groeneweg’s vocal tone resembles the calming contemplation of James Taylor, while naturally inspired lines like “collecting dew drops at dawn” reinforces the nature-setting and journey conveyed, both musically and visually. Its perspectives on following one’s road, even during changing landscapes, fully resonate alongside a serenely enchanting folk sound.
