Mark Winters – I See You (2023)
Loud or soft, rock or folk, poetic or a bunch of gobbledegook set to a melody, anniversary songs have power in their own right. For Mark Winters, it was his anniversary song that inspired his musical career. Once he picked up a guitar to play a song for his wife, he discovered how music connects people in an unspeakable way. With influences like Tom Petty and John Mayer, his positive melodies transcend time and boundaries. The latest addition to his discography is the single ‘I See You’.
Balancing his right-brain creativity with his left-brain logic, Mark Winters wears the clock of artistically analytical. A rocket scientist (and I really mean that as he has a degree in Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering), his music has a poetic flair with a degree of nerdy precision in its form. Following his single ‘Boundary Layer’, ‘I See You’ has clarity in its folk-inspired sound and matter-of-fact lyrics; however, the passion beneath is creative artistry.
In true folk style, ‘I See You’ is a combination of acoustic guitar, lively percussion and rich vocals. As if embracing you in a warm hug, the simplistic soundscape breaks through any desperate darkness reaching out in a refreshing light. With the hearty cheerfulness of contemporary folk-rockers Mumford and Sons and the intimacy of folk singers Simon & Garfunkel, ‘I See You’ is a breath of fresh air.
Despite the simplistic soundscape with its uplifting tone, the simplicity of the melody and lyrics brings a significantly intricate intensity. The song is easy to listen to, laidback and captures the beauty of our world; however, the emotion it evokes is raw with vulnerable sentiments. This is not a bad thing, not a bad thing at all. In ‘I See You’ Winters captures the beauty of vulnerability and deep connection with someone special by sharing your journey of self-discovery.
