Sentimental

by THYMIAN

supported by

Negative White In Sentimental, THYMIAN's sound has matured and expanded into more dynamicism—especially with the contribution of Spanish saxophonist Ferran Gorrea. We have heard the combination of post-punk and sax already excel with True Faith's In Vain.

But most of all, the Swiss musician has aligned his voice to the sound: Still full of character, recognizable, yet more natural and closer to his live performances, THYMIAN's delivery approaches Dave Gahan.

about

As we’re only human, of course we let ourselves be shaped. In our younger years, we soak up beliefs and ideas just like a sponge and some of these later turn into personal values. They lead us in several directions, but ultimately, it’s up to us to follow our internal compass. Or to put it simply: “Do what feels right.”

THYMIAN has taken this idea to heart, creating only the music that truly resonates with his adult self. On “Sentimental”, pop structures meet a refreshingly familiar sonic aesthetic. His baritone vocals float over strummed guitars, that harmonize beautifully with gentle synthesizer melodies. The saxophone solo by Ferran Gorrea transports listeners back to the 80s with a dash of goosebumps.

lyrics

It's hard to believe
Observing the other shore
Existence is brief, was I here before?
I try to recall, ignorance is bliss I want to explore
What's the point of this?

To hurt a sentimental mind
Truth heard, leave it all behind
Watch my eyes go blind
To hurt something well-defined
A word, is what you remind
Closure, peace of mind

Discord of faith, it's not what you know
Believe what you want in shades of indigo
You reap what you sow
Living consciousness
I want to be sure, what's the point of this?

To hurt a sentimental mind
Truth heard, leave it all behind
Watch my eyes go blind
To hurt something well-defined
A word, is what you remind
Closure, peace of mind
