Soft acoustic strums, playful synths, and resonating lyrical reflections enamor on “Memories,” a memorable track from Nathaniel Sutton. The Alberta, Canada-based artist describes the release as a “heartfelt ode to the past” that “that brings vivid snapshots of the past and simpler days, sunny afternoons, old friends, and the places that shaped us. It’s a reminder that some memories never fade, forever etched in the heart and frozen in time.”
The warming vocal tone melds throughout with the lush acoustics and amiable synths for an enjoyably melodic sound, bolstered by nostalgic descriptors of those simpler days. “On the grass with a blanket and a basket, running home getting caught in the rain,” Sutton reminisces. “Funny moments, laugh until our cheeks hurt, tell each other we both feel the same.” Continued sentiments of how “these memories are etched in stone” seem to celebrate their enduring glow, rather than wallowing on their yesteryear status. “Memories” is an alluring charmer from Nathaniel Sutton.
