Luna Keller – Wanderer (2022)
Luna Keller is a musician who keeps you hooked with her music, whether it’s the vulnerable tones of ‘Prophecy’, the upbeat vibes of ‘I’ll Bring You Home’ or the soul-stirring of ‘By The Coast’. With her single ‘Wanderer’ she is taking us on a stripped-back journey and evoking some of the vulnerable tones we have heard from her before. The single dips into goodbyes that are often painful, but have been transformed into something beautiful.
Through the single, Keller considers the beauty of having someone to miss and someone you are eager to return to. At the heart of the track, there is a message to stay connected to what we love. This message came to her on the last night she spent in her childhood home and has become a fan-favourite live single.
‘Wanderer’ uses a gentle acoustic guitar to fill your senses with the soft glows of a campfire. There is a beautiful feeling to the movement of the melody as the guitar plucks through your senses like the lazy twirl of smoke from a fire. There is a plush tone beneath the guitar that creates the heat from the fire or a soft blanket wrapped around your shoulder. It is an intimate melody that is packed with good vibes, with the barest touch of melancholy. It is a delicate balance that reminds you of times when you are away from home and thinking about what awaits you when you go back.
While the melody brings a warm campfire to your senses, Keller’s vocals ride the air currents like the sparks rising from the fire. Her performance has a touch of yearning for someone or somewhere far from you, but this is countered by a happiness in where you are. Through the lyrics and her performance, she turns the pain of loss and yearning into something truly beautiful. She packs the affection you have for the person or place you yearn for into the track and transforms it from painful to utter bliss. You can feel the affection in each word and it settles perfectly in your chest.
Luna Keller turns the pain of loss and yearning for someone or some place into beautiful affection and warmth in ‘Wanderer’. The music is like a campfire warming your spirit and drawing you into an intimate setting. Keller’s vocals are like the sparks coming off the fire as they swirl around you and transforms loss into something beautiful.
