Everything I Do by A Lens To The Sun is a stunning demonstration of musical versatility and talent. From scratch to finish, this San Diego-based band seamlessly blends an entire specter of complementary music genres like alternative, indie, progressive, goth rock, and cinematic ambiance to create a sonic journey that takes the listener through different moods. From the initial notes and beats, they establish a beautiful soundscape decorated with profoundly detailed leads, catchy riffs, and low-end notes. Still, there’s an even mellower side of the verse where cleverly arranged arpeggiated chord progressions and a subtle touch of synth ambiances shine bright, and these are the moments where you’ll hear everything these experienced musicians included in their song.
Their ability to blend so many textures with an outstanding vocal performance creates a sense of vastness and melancholy. It’s nearly mindblowing how the entire band operates like a singular organism during the choruses, where every layer of instrumentation emphasizes another. The lyrics are beautifully penned and accompanied by a fantastic vocal performance. The song’s contemplative lyrics speak about searching for meaning in this chaotic world and finding purpose by connecting with another person. The words are potent and raw, striking a perfect balance with the emotional vocal performance and echoic, cinematic instrumentation.
Their creativity, talent, skills, experience, and attention to even the tiniest detail are evident from start to finish. The musicianship on this track is superb, with the band playing with so much commitment and passion. The production quality is also top-notch, perfectly blending everything without one element overpowering the others. The infectious nature of the track is complemented by its exquisite arrangement and vocal delivery, making it a song that will stay with you for a long time. One of the things that set A Lens To The Sun apart from the remainder of the scene is their ability to continuously levitate between the eighties, nineties, and modern sound by pushing the sonic envelope forward. Therefore, Everything I Do is a must for every true modern rock fan, and it’s one of those songs you surely don’t want to miss. The single is available on all streaming platforms.
