Taste Test: The Satellite Station serves up a beautifully pensive song called ‘Only Human’
Travis Rue blends the quiet and the powerful in new contemporary folk/pop hit
Welcome to Taste Test, a song/video review series of SubmitHub-only gemstones
Life is hard and complicated and sometimes it feels like there are no good answers. The Satellite Station (also known as Travis Rue) has the perfect song for the times when the world gets overwhelming. The song is a constant crescendo, initially starting off with a beat reminiscent of a heartbeat monitor, and a soft piano. From there, Rue carefully ups the ante with every passing verse and chorus, injecting power into the pensivity without diminishing it. “Just trying to keep myself from drowning/just trying to stop my head from pounding/life’s short and we fail sometimes/’cause we are only human.” The production is so smooth that the instruments seem to glide over one another, giving ‘Only Human’ well-finished and beautifully soft texture.
