This track gets to you in a subtle way. It doesn’t shout or impress you immediately. It begins with a piano, simple, reverb-laden, and simply sits with you for a moment. The opening alone is enough to set the tone for something that feels like a true film, and a bit sad in the best way.
Then the guitar comes and things change. It is melodic and expressive, yet never showy, and it is constructed in this way. SARK is a gifted communicator. The notes are not only selected but also playfully selected and the emotional care is evident in each of the passages. The drums gradually enter and when they do the whole track gets into its stride. The rhythm section provides a solid foundation to the music, but does not overshadow the melody. A true balance of bass, drums, piano and guitar. There is no superfluous or awkward.
The special thing about Flying Toward Tomorrow is that it really exists on its own. It sounds like synthwave but it’s more like classic instrumental guitar music. It’s not sounding like it’s trying to be either one or the other. It just sounds like itself, and that’s not as easy as it sounds. SARK calls the track “a soundtrack for the space between who you were and who you are becoming. This is a very accurate description. It has a hopeful tone but also a burdened tone, as if it’s being carried forward instead of left behind. It’s a very heartfelt and well-crafted song from an artist clearly at their prime
