The sky can be undying, but Skytinual reminds us that even the most regular things are exchanged. After a decade-long hiatus, the artist formerly Dave Bush has returned, sharing a slice of his deeply introspective alt-pop sound with the brand new single "Changing Light." This marks the start of his adventure beneath the brand new moniker Skytinual, heralding a sparkling technology of creativity that captures both the impermanence and splendor of life.
"Changing Light" is a song that sneaks up on you, full of open-ended questions wrapped in wealthy alt-pop textures. Each verse asks you to sit with its hesitations, "are we coming, are we going, that is proper?" even as the chant-like chorus, "converting light, converting lifestyles," gently pulls you into the embody of the unknown.
The music is sonically lush, mixing nostalgic '80s alt-pop vibes with a modern-day twist. Kevin Scott from Government Mule lends his talents on bass, while Skytinual handles all contraptions, showcasing his dynamic musical variety. Though penned during a layover in Charlotte and steeped in reflections about friends and family grappling with cancer, "Changing Light" doesn’t stay in darkness. Instead, it offers a meditation on exchange—a hopeful acceptance of existence’s uncertainties and an invitation to embody anything that comes next.
