With a softness and supple arrangement that’s as delicate as it is creeping, Bring Prudence craft a sort of wistful and distinctively nostalgic folk and indie melody that’s deeply moving without needing to be too much at any moment. There’s something so enticing and endearing about the acoustic melody that Bring Prudence weave together on “Bonfire”. It feels so lively, despite how soft and restrained the arrangement really is. What makes it all come together is a sincerity in the performance, across all facets of the composition and in particular within the vocal duet.
“Bonfire” is about that indescribable and almost seemingly unattainable at times feeling of falling completely, wholeheartedly, inescapably in love with someone for the first time. It’s deeply moving without really seeming like its trying to affect you. An emotional dagger and hug all at once.
