Taking you back to the early 2000s electronic rock scene, ‘With the Dawn’ by DJ Druskin will have you swooning over its melodious rhythms.
Starting off with a lovely layered riff of the acoustic and the electric guitar, the song’s instrumentation builds softly and beautifully. The song does not rush itself, and instead stays with each segment and allows you to fully familiarise yourself with it. The layers are added in a way that doesn't overwhelm the overall mood and tone of the song. The electronic segments come in towards the end of the song, and their coming in so neat that you might almost miss it. The musicality of the song is smooth and unhurried, gentle and powerful in its honesty and earnestness. It asks you to flow with it and stay in the moment as the song plays. The song is quite literally made for a long drive with the sun coming up in the horizon.
The vocals in the song are vulnerable and rich and do so well in expressing the essence of the song, which is expressed so beautifully by the instrumentation too. Brimming with hope and light and all the vibrancy in the world, this song feels like a wakeup call from a deep, dull, long slumber. The song is simple and its simplicity it is profoundly beautiful.
There is no reason why you shouldn’t absolutely be planning an early morning drive chasing the sun while blasting this song through the speakers, while hope shines bright in your eyes.
