Scott’s Tees, a solo artist from Edmonton, Canada, has made for us a great new song titled “We Move as Fast as Storms Allow.” This track is a nice mix of music styles, getting ideas from great bands like Pearl Jam and Iron and Wine. Scott is very good at writing songs that make you pause and reflect. He clearly put all his effort into making this a song based on dreams that reaches the listener right away.
The song fits well into the Alt-Indie music style. It cares more about feelings and mood than trying to be a quick radio hit. The song is set up well. It uses different parts: verses that tell a story, a chorus that makes you feel good, and a quieter middle part for thinking. The sound uses guitar tricks like reverb, which makes the music sound big and open. This big, open sound is a good change from the very personal and close feeling of the story being told.
The rhythm and beat parts are very key to the music. The drums and bass move along but also seem slow. This sound fits the song’s main idea perfectly: we can only move as fast as bad times—the “storms”—let us. The parts of the music are like the outside things that choose our speed. The song’s message is clearly seen right in the music itself.
The music sounds bigger when the chorus starts. In the quiet verses, the simple singing feels real and personal, like talking to a friend. But when the chorus arrives, Scott puts in many layers of singing that make the music huge, like you’re escaping for a moment into a clear, beautiful dream. This change is the main feeling of the song. It shows the short happiness and understanding we get in dreams before coming back to real life.
This song really means that we can’t always choose what happens to us. It talks about the usual struggle between what we want and what life lets us do. We all know how hard it is to plan big things and then have things outside of our control decide how quickly we can get to them. Scott does a great job of showing how everyone feels like they want to do things that matter but always runs into walls.
The song also explains how we deal with these feelings. We often go into our thoughts or dreams to try and understand life, but returning to the real world is hard. The music gives us a feeling of sadness when our hope seems to go away. It also talks about feeling lonely, even when people nearby are smiling. This feeling of not fitting in makes us hide our real thoughts and problems from everyone else.
In the end, “We Move as Fast as Storms Allow” gives a simple message of letting things be. It tells us that even though we are full of life and strong feelings, we must go through life carefully. We only show the parts we want people to see. This way of being careful keeps who we really are safe, while accepting the limits the world puts on us. It is a great, honest, and moving song that shows Scott’s Tees is an artist everyone should follow.
