Taste Test: Avielle’s ethereal ‘Ocean’ is an enchanting delight
The Swiss singer-songwriter pens a love letter to nature, ghosts and the ocean
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
There are certain songs that seem to tap into the very essence of nature itself. “Ocean” by Avielle is one such song, with beautiful fingerstyle guitar melodies, strings and ethereal voices. Avielle steals the show with a enchanting voice that bends and lilts like leaves in the wind. “And then the clouds are drifting apart/And the moon shines right into my heart/The waves push me towards you/And I feel that you’re pulling too.” Though quiet, the song has a definite weight and heaviness to it, with every drumbeat feeling like the beating of a heart. If you enjoy esoteric folk songs that get in touch with nature, this single is for you.
