“ANUTHER SUNNY HULLIDAY”: THE ULTIMATE ESCAPE SONG FROM MICK J. CLARK

No Comments Review

It is always such a pleasure to introduce the work of Mick J. Clark to your attention once again; an established figure of our blog and rightly so. This particular man can be described as a songwriter whose songs have that unique quality of getting deeply into your soul and staying there for a long time despite the fact that they sound. Listening to the unforgettable euphoria of “It’s Christmas Party Time,” the impressive resonance of “Sing Glory Glory Hallelujah,” or the absolutely outstanding power of his album *Pole Position*, one will understand the key to his success. It lies in the fact that he does not consider himself a mere writer of songs, but infuses his heart and soul into each of them, turning usual tracks into the ones filled with personal experience and feeling. Now, having listened to the recently released “Anuther Sunny Hulliday”, which came out on June 25th, we see that he did not lose the key to his unique charm. Let us get to know more about it.

In the very first second, “Anuther Sunny Hulliday” takes listeners on a ride through an immaculate yet captivating production quality. The song begins with an incredibly crafted beat that features a melody that grabs one’s attention from the get-go due to the vibrant and sunny feeling that it exudes. However, what makes the opening of this song particularly exceptional is its incredible atmosphere created through sound design, where the roaring take-off of a plane blends seamlessly into the buzz of a happy crowd. This is a stroke of brilliance when it comes to creating an atmosphere that instantly takes a listener to the perfect summer vacation destination.

“Anuther Sunny Hulliday” is perhaps the best feel-good song one can ask for during those hot summer days. This song appears in Clark’s new album, *Notes Two*. The tune perfectly reflects the entire process of taking a holiday, from that burning urge to take a break from the mundane life to the feeling of relief of actually taking a break. Here, Clark himself becomes a great travel companion for the listener who wants to leave his problems behind and get into the sunny world of Clark where he feels liberated. So skillfully does Clark deliver this story that at the end of the chorus the listener no longer listens to Clark’s story but gets into it himself.

It goes beyond being a stylistic choice since it is a part of the creator’s creative DNA, reflecting the lively delivery of vocals and dedication to truthfulness. It is an impeccably constructed sound landscape that serves as an entire narrative process that takes us gracefully through the excitement and buzz of the pre-holiday anxiety to the pure bliss of poolside relaxation. Even the bittersweet sensation of coming back home after the holidays is captured, and that is emphasized with the help of those brilliantly done sounds of planes that are so close to the imagination that one could hear the sound of waves crashing on the shore. But what Clark also does with his inclusion of “Parrot Dance,” which is such a fun and interesting touch, tailored explicitly to appeal to his younger listeners, says a lot about Clark’s musicianship. It shows a wonderful breadth of vision in which music transcends into something bigger and more inclusive than just a good product, it is a shared experience for all people. With this perfect balance of playfulness and meaning, Clark continues his legacy as a songwriter who truly means something. Clark is still a master of creating a magic song that captures the fleeting beauty of the season and reminds us why it’s called a perfect summer song.

The man is just impossible not to be impressed by Mick J. Clark! Each time when he presents something new he keeps proving his incredible gift of creating that music which is both highly immersive and fascinating from intellectual point of view and which, more importantly, is really entertaining. He has that kind of a special gift to know how to make people feel like being away. Therefore, if you did not have any plans for a vacation this summer or your budget does not allow you to buy a plane ticket right now, do not get depressed at all. Just put on this song, turn on the sound and let Clark make this holiday come right to you!
