The single ‘Departed’ by North County Dublin band find-joy creates an atmosphere of spring warmth and the expectation of miracles. The bright vocals and the swinging melody catch and strengthen the conceptuality of the lyrics. The melancholic voice, in combination with the lightness of the keys, creates a feeling of trembling and the instability of the moment, you know, with a light admixture of sweet melancholy.

I like the energetic groove of the guitar and the dense rhythm section, which, in time with the heartbeat, wing and release the newly born feeling of being in love. Soft, calm verses are replaced by an anthemic chorus. And throughout the whole song, the chorus becomes more and more intense and bright. The guitar solo sharply bursts into the second half of the song, coloring the climactic state of the lyrical hero. And then a denser ringing of the synthesizer creates an atmosphere of strain and depth. Amazing!
