Zane Vickery has been trickling out new songs from his forthcoming behemoth of an album, Interloper. These songs have seen Vickery shift toward an incredibly personal and vulnerable approach, watching him wrestle with concept of belonging through a lens of faith, grief, his near-death experience, and the rejuvenated outlook on life which has followed.
That certainly doesn’t mean the entirety of the record is bleak by any stretch, and “Hydrangea” is a perfect example of this. It’s addressed to Vickery’s wife and it’s a confession of longsuffering and mutual endurance through life’s challenges. It’s a track where the sentiments of love feel all the more real in light of the suffering Vickery has endured through his crash and the very real sacrifice involved with walking alongside a spouse in that situation.
As such, the track is a triumphant explosion of honest endearment. It’s tender but maintains a sense of assurance. It’s dynamic, balancing softer segments with a final, saxophone-laden crescendo ending. Check it out below and be sure to follow him on Instagram for studio updates, song clips, and other goodies.
Great song! Let us know when the album releases.
