Carolee Rainey’s dreamy lullaby ‘Serendipity’ is bound to leave you feeling warm and rejuvenated inside. The New York based indie folk artist has a way of putting together blissfully dreamy and poignant soundscape that has you floating like a feather through a sight breeze. The interplay of acoustic strings, Rainey’s continually intonated vocal performance, and the subtle drum work all combine to mould a song about the wonder of nature and its effect on us. It’s in that happy oxymoronic chorus, where we’re searching for serendipity, that you start to realise that the journey is more important than the chase. We can’t be on the look out for a chance miracle, it happens to us when we least expect it.
Rainey captures that feeling right before so succinctly and emotively, that yearning for a serendipitous occurence.
