Presenting the precise warmth and emotional openness of any great love song or ballad, ‘Always With You’ is a gradually evolving piece of music and writing that soaks the listener in a specific sentiment that comes with a nostalgic familiarity and a passionate build up. The song has been masterfully crafted, recorded and produced, so that heartfelt depth feels authentic and shines brightly for anyone needing that go-to song that is there for them in times of difficulty or that appears to understand them.
The artist’s leading voice has a certain realness to it that carries the essence of the song and the descending, reflective melody in a way that is easy to believe and relate to. There’s a certain humanity to the sound that adds an endearing touch of honesty, rather than a singer who would over sing or over perform, attempting to make it all about themselves, the singer in this case has perfectly captured the power of the song in itself, allowing the driving force to be that concept – that idea of always being there for someone. You can hear the truth of this in the performance, and the result is that it makes for a song that appears as a personal gift for whoever hears it.
The song has been arranged with a musical simplicity that allows it’s message to ride freely on the sound. There’s a strength in the build up, underlining that love and passion with precise awareness of the sentiment, but there’s also an underlying softness to the whole song, something which ultimately adds further to that personal element and is likely to make it all the more important and even special to anyone who needed to hear it.
