Freya “Nineteen Years”

This song was actually released in the closing weeks of 2017, but never got a chance to write about it, and extoll it’s many virtues and charms. Simple, with a guitar line that circles around and around, bridging a generational gap between, I swear, 70’s soft rockers Bread, gentle emo legends Pinback, and the softer moments from the underrated Wheat, “Nineteen…” is a wistful world of longing, the past, insurmountable miles, and all that good stuff. Freya’s new album is due out in May, but while you wait, I strongly recommend you check her sweet ep from last year, “The Brightest Ones” because it’s brimming with gorgeous stuff like this.
