As the soothing melodic piano begins, the context of the title of the song starts to sink in. The simplicity and delightfulness of the chords carry each word composed with positivity. The song continues to connect rhythm and tune through strumming guitar gradually building up to a huge burst of energy, bringing a variety of sounds merging into each other. The music touches the skies as it fuses the large harmonic vocals of Kevin Gullickson across the horizon.
Drums enter the flow with powerful kick and snare adding to the impactful beat while soft and gentle layers of strings slowly blend with the evolving composition. From here onwards, Kevin's voice does the magic of taking the song to its emotional heights. The expansive chorus also gets a touch of distortion through electric guitar, completing the pop and rock fusion.
We get to hear the unique vocal rendition of Kevin's artistic form of conveying the meaning and depth of lyricism. Also at this point, where everything is playing together, perfectly synchronised, the connection between each musical element becomes a medium to deliver emotion to the listener. The massive transformation at the end makes you appreciate the creativity and thoughtfulness that went into making this marvellous, bright and colourful song.
Definitely listen to 'Cast out Your Light' by Radio Drive on Spotify.
