David Jane Shares New Single ‘Garden Out Back’

Toronto singer-songwriter and filmmaker David Jane shares his brand new single Garden Out Back, a melancholia-infused piece of music. 

 

What I like the most about this song is its warmth and how passionate and dynamic David's delivery is, effortlessly capturing my attention from start to finish. A collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Sam Arion, Garden Out Back is a song inspired by David’s year in Vancouver and the slow fade ending of a relationship that began there, chronicling the helpless sense of futility in a long distance relationship before exploding into a desperate yearning to return to that lost time. A message beautifully conveyed through his gorgeous vocals which are accompanied by delicate guitar strums nicely intertwined with steady drum patterns, ambient textures, cool rhythms and an infectious chorus that come together to create an overall warm atmosphere with touches of nostalgia and melancholia.

Speaking about the song, David Jane said,

Garden Out Back” marked my second collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Sam Arion, perhaps best known for his solo project Mute Choir, and what’s been so great about Sam is that he’s able to create these deeply contemplative, ambient sonic atmospheres within the typical acoustic, somewhat traditional/folk-inspired structures I gravitate towards. The end-product then becomes this mix of traditional acoustic, lyric-focused songwriting that still centralizes the vocalist and the words while seamlessly pairing that with a very modern, contemplative, atmospheric soundscape.
