You’re On My Mind by Ayrton Jimenez: Review

The up-and-coming singer-songwriter Ayrton Jimenez from Bristol channels his inner Eric Clapton to tell the heartfelt story of love and loss in his latest single ‘You’re On My Mind’.

With amazing soulful guitar work and ethereal vocals, Ayrton Jimenez pours his heart out in this beautiful song. The softly sung lyrics over the clean ambient guitar rhythm create an ethereal atmosphere. Imagine Cigarettes After Sex having John Mayer as the guitarist. This is the closest we can get to that sound without the collaboration actually happening. The slow and steady rhythm set the stage perfectly for Ayrton’s dreamy expressive vocals to pour his heart out and wear it on his sleeve. Reminiscing the love he had, this heartfelt slow ballad sings to win back the love he lost. Although it is about heartbreak, the song can have different interpretations and can be used as a romantic song when you’re missing someone as well. The emotion, the rhythm, the dreamy atmosphere, it all makes the song a perfect number to slow dance to with your special someone on a special night. Hitting hard on the emotional side, Ayrton concludes the song with a gently weeping heart-wrenching guitar solo showcasing his skills as a guitar virtuoso.

Dreamy, emotional, and beautiful, this song is an easy recommendation for fans of Cigarettes After Sex, John Mayer, and Eric Clapton. If you’re looking for a song to slow dance to this Valentine’s, look no further.
