Ryan OโConnellโs โSnailโ is a refreshing and introspective indie-rock gem that invites listeners to slow down and appreciate the simple pleasures of life.
Released on July 28, The songโs laid-back vibe and thoughtful lyrics create a soothing and reflective atmosphere, making it the perfect soundtrack for a leisurely afternoon. Mastered at Glow Studios, OโConnellโs versatile musicianship is on full display in โSnail,โ as he has given his hand on all the instrumentals(guitar, bass, drums, keys) here. And of course, he sings it too.
The instrumentals are uplifting, they riff and drive consistently and engagingly while the singer sings with his voice suspended over paced drums. His delivery helps you soothe and get entranced in the relaxation.
Through a narration of being left behind until the character meets this girl, who is a snail, who makes him feel like he has all the time in the world, the singer shows us that we need to embrace a slower life and heal ourselves. But then he eventually leaves her too because he doesnโt have a shell on his body, like her. And this shows that we are free to go for our dreams and enjoy ourselves too.
โSnailโโs production is clean and well-balanced, with a focus on highlighting OโConnellโs songwriting and musicianship. The overall atmosphere is one of warmth and nostalgia, reminiscent of the classic indie-rock bands that inspired OโConnell.
โSnailโ is a standout track from Ryan OโConnellโs catalog, and must be checked out.
