“A Song for Phaedrus“ by The Pendulum Hearts

“A Song for Phaedrus” by The Pendulum Hearts is a genre blending track with a unique and compelling narrative. Elements of country, folk, and americana weave their way through this track as the lyrics ponder human existence within the endless universe. The Pendulum Hearts, an innovative act from Austin, Texas, showcase their unique sense of artistry with this track, drawing you in and holding your attention from start to finish.

Celebratory horns and a jaunty rhythm opens this track, immediately putting you in a good mood. The playful melodies glide easily across the arrangement, providing catchy, non lyrical melodies that heighten the emotion of the track. Slight shifts in energy from section to section help keep the song dynamic, moving from quick rhythms to ballad-like swaying in a satisfying way. Pretty fiddle flits in and out of the track, offering a lovely solo that speaks to the whimsical nature of this song. 

Much of “A Song for Phaedrus” seeks to emphasize the connection between humans and nature. With lines like “I belong, you belong, we all belong to the sea” and “we grew from the ground like bamboo,” The Pendulum Hearts remind the listener to reconnect with the world around them and relax into the environment you were born from. Another impactful theme of the track is to live in the moment, and not be afraid to go after what you want in life. The lyric “sing or dance, just do it while you can” is simple yet impactful, inspiring playfulness and zest for life.
