Grekula’s new song “Detached” is somewhat like viewing old photos and not getting the full picture of a person. In the middle of the track is that strange, quiet feeling. It is definitely there, and the song is not overly explicit. It allows the “feeling” to be heard.
This song has a lot of emotion in the piano. Mathias Thijssen’s style is straightforward and never seeks to impress, but that is exactly what is needed. It slowly and carefully fills the space surrounding the guitar. It sounds more like two people talking than playing music together.
Grekula’s voice never gets lost in the mix. It does not overdo things or demand attention. Rather, the words are conveyed in a gentler manner. This is a good one. It feels honest and is appropriate for the song’s concept. It’s not a big announcement of losing touch with yourself; it’s a gradual thing. The song is not fast or slow, it’s just at its own tempo, which is good. It doesn’t feel like it’s building up to a big event. Rather, it develops slowly, gradually gaining more feeling. Before you even notice it, you are already a whole step down emotionally. This gradual build is not something that’s simple to make.
The most striking thing is the song’s personal feel, but at the same time it’s not too difficult to relate to. Everyone has thought of themselves as an older version of themselves and felt a little removed from that version. Grekula captures it in a simple way, without it being too much or too obvious. This was recorded in a small studio, which is a testament to the fact that you don’t need so much to make something meaningful. Only two musicians and honest writing, holding onto hard feelings. “Detached” is beautifully quiet, and it’s a song that lingers in the mind long after it’s over.
