Lockyer Boys – Daisy (2022)
While Lockyer Boys fill our ears with the infectious sounds of ‘Daisy’, they weave a flowery love song packed with good vibes and a reminder that love isn’t all fun and games. Using the symbol of the daisy, which represents innocence and love but is also a weed, they consider how love can make you blissfully happy while also driving you insane. If you are looking for the perfect song to sing with the windows down, you are in the right place.
The third single off their debut album, this track is fun and offers another taste of what the band has to offer. The brothers behind the music, Will and Charlie Lockyer, made their first steps into the music industry as a cover band, before gaining recognition for their multi-instrumentalist talents and vocal harmonies. With their debut album, they are turning these talents to original songs and capturing the hearts of listeners as they go.
The electronic-edged vocals that warble through the opening of ‘Daisy’ haze through your senses, gently capturing your attention. The main vocal line punches out through the opening verse bolstered by the deep and heavy beat. There is a sunny and really happy vibe to the music through the opening verse as you float on waves of love and affection. The happy vibes of the track take a turn as the vocals continue telling us the story of a relationship that fills you with euphoria, only to end. There is a tug of sadness in the low levels of the vocals that comes through more as the single progresses, but there is something about the performance that keeps the upbeat and happy vibes going. Through the lyrics, the band brings the ups and downs of relationships and love in the most engaging way. While the lyrics have a great storytelling vibe, the chorus is packed with some delightful metaphors that compare the thoughts of someone you care about to the persistence of daisies.
It is not only the vocals that bring the dichotomy of emotion to the track. The layered melody has been masterfully crafted to propel you forward on waves of colours while enhancing the emotive movement of the vocals. Through the opening verse, the deep beat creates an extra punch to the vocals as they hit you with the initial emotions of the track. While the lyrics dip into the sadness of a breakup, the music continues the lighter touches that have a fantastic bittersweet edge. The combination of the vocals and melody has you smiling to the happy emotions while feeling the pained tug of upset and heartache.
Through the light tones of ‘Daisy’, Lockyer Boys bring a touch of bittersweet emotion to the tug of heartache and love while getting you singing along. The vocals initially capture your attention with an electronic echo that turns into the punch hit of emotions and the swirl of love and pain. The music enhances each stage of the vocals with a masterful arrangement.
