Greetings dearest gentle readers and music lovers, Let’s welcome Ben Dey to our digital space. Since 2014, South African singer-songwriter Ben Dey has been involved in the country’s music scene with his band, The Concrete Lions. The trio became well-known in 2016 as a result of the radio success of their hit “Easy Love.” Ben Dey and the Concrete Lions, an electrifying live group, started to appear often at music venues and festivals in South Africa. On 1st November, this artist released a single called “Cait”. Let’s talk more about the song
The song opens with soft, sweet, and dreamy guitar sounds that will catch your attention there and then. The song illustrates a character who has decided to take a leap of faith and give his all to a person whom he treasures deeply (” Now I won’t hold back anymore”). This character is ready to commit to this person because this person has been a lifeline for him during his dark days (” As I wrestle through the darkness it’s you I try to find”). Some might say that putting this kind of responsibility on a person and though it’s true to a degree, it can also just mean that the character has found his forever person
Ben Dey and the Concrete Lions have this unique ability to create music that sounds tight and well-rehearsed but also improvisational and natural. The band is so fascinating because of dichotomies like these and Their distinctive rock sound. Also, The song is characterized by dreamy guitar sounds which spins a beautiful melody that embodies the song. The vocal performance is vulnerable and soft and I imagine this is what actual angels sound like
This song is more than just a song, it is proof that we as humans just sometimes need a lifeline, someone or something to look for in times of trouble, and even something or someone who motivates us and gives us a reason to get out of bed every morning. It is also a consolation that it may take some time to find a person or a thing that inspires purpose and that’s okay. Their sound is unique and beautiful and I can’t wait to hear more music from them
