Summer Heart – Sleep

“A pleasant if slightly uninspiring track”

Tim: Okay, how about something a bit relaxing for you?

Tom: Hmm. “Relaxing” usually means “I’ll fall asleep at some point”. The title doesn’t help. Who’s behind it?

Tim: New Swedish bloke, known to his mum as David Alexander but to the rest of the world as Summer Heart.

Tim: And there you go. Pleasant enough, I think you’ll agree?

Tom: I really wasn’t expecting to enjoy that as much as I did. Just one catch: I don’t like the chorus. And that’s weird for me; normally the choruses stand out for me in any song, but here I think they let the side down a bit.

The verses are bloody lovely, though.

Tim: Nothing loud, nothing intense, just a nice track to sit back and relax to, maybe in a park on a sunny May afternoon. Which makes it slightly odd that it’s being released in November, but maybe he’s got an Australian audience in mind, or maybe he’s banking on recalling happy memories. Either way, it’s a pleasant if slightly uninspiring track, nicely suited to lying back and doing nothing. I’ll take it.
