Madeline Megery, the indie folk-electronic singer-songwriter, has once again proven her musical prowess with her latest single, Indigo. Known for her unique blend of indie folk and electronic music, Megery’s songs are often inspired by the soundscapes of nature and the wisdom she gleans from her explorations of the natural world. Indigo is no exception, and it beautifully encapsulates the feelings, wisdom, and beauty that Megery experiences through her adventures.
The song begins with a gentle, ethereal vocal delivery that flows evocatively over a rich mix of warm instrumentals. The lyrics in the first verse, “Still like a new day / Suddenly unscathed / You came like the dawn / Pulling life into lungs“, paint a vivid picture of a new beginning, a fresh start. The imagery of dawn and the infusion of life into lungs highlight Megery’s ability to draw from her experiences in nature and translate them into her music.
As the song progresses, it builds into a more uptempo dance-like beat, creating a sense of euphoria that mirrors the feelings evoked by the lyrics. The second verse, “Soon as the day leaves / Stillness contains me / Feels almost known / Like we’ve been here before“, further deepens the sense of connection to nature and the cyclical patterns of life.
The chorus, “Painting me shades of red and indigo / Wandering souls here to see we’re only passing through / We can stay till night watch it go black and blue / Dance as darkness blooms / Wasted by the moon“, is a poignant reflection on the transient nature of life and the beauty found in the fleeting moments of existence.
Indigo Megery seamlessly blends indie folk and electronic music to create a sound that is uniquely her own. Her love for nature and the lessons she learns from it are beautifully encapsulated in her music, making Indigo a song that resonates with listeners on a deep, emotional level.
