“Slow Day” by Books of Moods is a chill indie rock tune that explores the feel good vibes of having a lazy, slow day. Books of Moods, an innovative indie band based in Paris, France and led by Hugo Sailer, crafts a lovely sonic landscape that sets the mood for the listener to settle into a day of doing whatever they want- maybe even nothing. For anyone who finds themselves living a fast paced life that they can’t seem to take a break from, this track is the perfect reminder that we are all allowed to slow down and take some time for ourselves.
Lines like “day crawls by, I see the clock stick, but today I’m gonna take my time” introduce the theme of the song and allow the listener to sink in. The hypnotizing drum rhythm and ambient synth chords wrap the listener in its soundscape. Catchy melodies and ear candy instrumentation offer an uplifting vibe to the song as the energy shifts between dense and sparse moments to keep your expectations suspended, then satisfied.
The music video shows the singer having his very own slow day. He listens to music, drinks his coffee, stares out the window, plays his guitar, and does whatever other activities call to him. All the while, there is a soft smile on his face and a sense of peace surrounding him. Giving yourself permission to just take it slow and let your instincts guide what you do that day is powerful and rejuvenating, and something we all should definitely try.
