โSummer Kissโ by Dan Szyller, a song from the Album โThe Celestial Immigrant,โ is perfectly equipped to give listeners the experience of wonderstruck summer nostalgia. The impeccable storytelling abilities of the singer, infused with the dynamic rhythm of the drums, bring forward a 1960s summer scene. The song simultaneously manages to give listeners a sense of hope and dread. The clever lyrics of the song indicate the devastation humankind has brought upon the world. It also makes the listeners grieve the deaths of 1960s nature and Summer alike.
โSummer Kissโ finds its musical roots in the folk-rock/art-rock genre. It draws inspiration from famous rock bands like Pink Floyd, Iron Maiden, and The Doors while bringing in the songwriterโs personal twist. The avant-garde tuning of the guitar and sophisticated rhythm give listeners an out-of-body experience. Dan Szyllerโs multicultural roots and travels also impact the tune, as the song manages to give you a third-party perspective on the world we inhabit, making you question your everyday life decisions. The composition adds a unique, almost floating texture to the tune that makes listeners see their lives from a third-person perspective, giving them a celestial experience. The songwriter manages to provide exactly what was promised in the albumโs name.
Art rock is one of the most sophisticated genres of music out there. It has been experimented on unsuccessfully oftentimes. Dan Szyllerโs โSummer Kissโ has surpassed the experimental level and managed to stand out in the album โThe Celestial Immigrant.โ The song manages to leave listeners with a pleasing and impactful message.
