Taste Test: Pat Byrne enjoys the little things in ‘Capsize’ -

Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones

With a jaunty upbeat tune Pat Byrne’s newest single seems full of joy and hope. The Irish singer’s voice is warm and welcoming, but doesn’t downplay the troubles of everyday life. “It’s not security/it’s not stability/I don’t have money/no place or plan” he sings. And yet, the tone of “Capsize” is optimistic, steeped in catchy rhythms, distorted guitar semibreves, and a complex tapestry of instruments that come together to produce a colourful folk song. The harmonies shadow the main melody, injecting passion into every word. “Better than missing every sunrise/trying not to capsize/its better than a compromise/better than nothing at all.” This is a song to smile to.
