The Invincible Summer by Mark Rosal: Review

Mark Rosal, a Canadian singer-songwriter, has a soft spot in his heart for songs that are about relationships, spirituality, personal growth, and the inner journey. “The Invincible Summer,” his most recent single and the latest addition to his discography, is yet another stunning piece that is filled with uplifting messages for his audience.

With only acoustic guitar strumming, in the beginning, Rosal’s powerful vocals propel the song forward in contrast to the minimal accompaniment. It perfectly captures the track’s rustic, country atmosphere. Weaving together meaningful lyrics laced with wisdom and his emotive vocals, Mark Rosal crafted a timeless piece of music. He transports listeners back to the Wild West era, with cowboys on horseback rushing over sunny deserts, leaving heroic tales behind. Later on, some light synth pads and electric guitar are added to the backdrop, which gives it a greater sense of depth and edginess overall. Although his songwriting has likely grown more introspective and sophisticated over the past two decades, his music has the same level of sincerity and passion as when he first picked up a guitar.

Quotable lyrics:

“The invincible summer

Lives inside of me

The unbeatable hero

Never knows defeat

I can’t say where I’m coming from

Or where I’m heading to

I’ll just keep pushing harder

Till I break through”

Look no further if you enjoy the songs of Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Leonard Cohen, Gordon Lightfoot, and Van Morrison. Give “The Invincible Summer” a try on your preferred streaming platform, and you won’t be disappointed.
