The debut single from German singer-songwriter Elsdeer is a magical and flowery piece of folk music that exudes warmth and memories. Elsdeer’s magical falsetto is the track’s singular most recognisable aspect, a bewitching harmony that surrenders the listener. Her first single “Ten Years Time” was written in summer 2021 and is dedicated to Elsdeer’s father who passed away ten years before. You can feel that sadness, but also a warm sensation of acceptance and nostalgia along it all. It feels innately bittersweet, leaving you teary eyed but not complete sadness and depression. You feel a memory, a candle light that keeps you going forward.
With Elsdeer’s work on vocals, acoustic guitar, and violin, you can tell that there’s talent in droves with this emerging singer-songwriter. One of the most poignant and warmly eloquent pieces that conveys what it means to grieve over someone lost.
