What helps you decide to do something you’re afraid of? No, it’s not courage or advice like ‘just step over yourself’, but a song like “Simple Road” by Suze Vejo. For the artist herself, this indie rock single was a real challenge, showing that things aren’t as scary as they seem.

This single became Suze Vejo’s first in her discography. The young singer with a low, velvety voice made her debut by sharing how she stepped beyond her own shyness. Her track “Simple Road” is considered alternative indie rock, but it has a gentle, fluffy character, no signs of punk heaviness. It’s more like light and pleasant pop music than desperate cries of electric guitars.

The nature of the song itself sets an optimistic tone. The lively guitar rhythm doesn’t invite heaviness; instead, it seems to open you up, motivates you to act. Suze Vejo’s deep voice reassuringly gets inside your soul, and the song itself tunes you in for a kind journey through life. It instantly makes you want to wake up, smile, and finally do what you haven’t dared to do. And, if there’s warm autumn or summer outside, you immediately want to gather friends, get behind the wheel, and head out for a picnic, enjoying the fields and trees.

I don’t know about you, but for me, this music became a kind of wake-up mantra for the upcoming road. In my mind, it’s strongly connected with an energetic weekend, when you finally escape the daily rush and set off with friends out of town or on any other trip. Only Suze Vejo could masterfully convey the spirit of the road.
