Music Seen: Music Supervisor Hot Picks * Delphic's "This Momentary"
Artist: Delphic
Delphic
Song: “This Momentary”
Why I Luv It: This extremely memorable new song embodies strength in songwriting and performance on multiple levels. The production is absolutely stellar. The vocal melodies are hypnotic and infectious, and most of all, this song evokes a grand spectrum of emotion.
Scene I Can See it In: Lyrically, this is the perfect song to support a storyline involving a broken romantic relationship: One of the two people is willing to put the past behind them in an effort to rebuild and restart fresh/new, while at the same time taking things more seriously than ever considered before.
Lyrical sample:
“We, you and me what is said wasn’t never meant to hurt,
Real stories always come off worse
Can we make the time to leave it behind and reshape,
remake our faith in what we see,
how you feel so unsteady,
I’m already out of reach, remember finding your feet,
In a fine time, take the time to find me,
I’ll be ready waiting lets do something real…”
Instrumentally, there is a great break around (01:55) that would be an absolutely great fit for any beautifully filmed flying sequence at a high speed. A steadily picked bass-line, complimented by a delicately smooth synth-pad chord progression, sporadically delayed guitar chords, and dreamy vocals with elegant yet powerful harmonies give this song a naturally soaring feeling as if you’re being lifted off the ground by its sonic propulsion.
