At different points in my life, I always find myself discovering that a song I’ve listened to a million times, now sounds completely different. It could be that I matured, it could be that I wasn’t always really listening intently, or maybe it could be because of an event that altered my perceptions of the song. I’ve listened to the song “One Last Time (Darlin’ II)” by the band Between The Trees so many times that every lyric and change in melody is imprinted into my brain. But today, as I listened, it wasn’t as I had always remembered; it now has a direct connotation to recent events that keep playing back in my head. “All that I know is you changed something in me, I envy the power you have”, this lyric is key for two reasons. Firstly, it plays in perfectly with the theme of change in music. Secondly, I appreciate it because I have been changed by someone, unintentionally, but they’re the reason why I hear this song differently than I used to. Between The Trees is an extremely talented band, and the music they create is overwhelming. The rise and fall of vocals and the harmonies are silencing; in the sense that it’s hard to find words to say to describe how glorious they are.
Between the Trees gets 4.5 Sexploding Ears out of 5.
