Wavy Life by SyWavy

The sound

Under every song on Wavy Life, mixed so low that most people never notice, is the sound of waves. On top of it, Jett2Fly built what he and SyWavy call the live music album. It wasn't recorded live, but it feels that way: pianos and keys, bass guitar on every song, real drum kit sounds, and Jett2Fly's own guitar on 3D and Telly. SyWavy calls it all live music on Out The Blue, a song that ends on a drum solo inspired by the last scene of Whiplash. It's a summer record, warm with a cool edge.

Track by track

Wavy Life is SyWavy's water album. It starts in the spin of a breakup, drifts out into freedom and a new love by the shore, then turns to growing up, time spent away and coming back grown. The last song turns the boat around and points it home to St. Pete.

01Whirlpool Window
The breakup: caught spinning in circles, cut off, and still wishing her well.
02Triad
Free of it now, and too proud to let her see him slip back.
0371%
Testing new water while the old phone signals go quiet.
04Out The Blue
A new love shows up from nowhere, clear as open water.
05Cruise Jam
Riding the new thing loose, torn between staying put and drifting off.
06Move That Ocean
Settled and calm for once, and drawn to someone new like a tide.
07Aqua Artist
He names himself the Aqua Artist and stares out past the shore.
08Caution
Looking back at every warning sign he drove right past.
09Telly
A fantasy romance that ends with him asking where he stands.
103D
Growing up, told as a baby learning to stand, walk and run.
11Fantasia
Far from home and older for it, wondering what he missed.
12Wind Waker
The finale turns the boat around and heads home to St. Pete.
