Romance can take you through days and nights, beginnings and endings, and fleeting moments. Fran Pitcher's "I Love You as the Sun Comes Up" captures that natural feeling of connection that two people can share, and how that connection can enrich your life. It begins off by contemplating youth and perseverance with the lyrics "I don't know if I'll make it to forty, but I'll try my hardest." The track moves on to ponder over the uncertain way life works, before the speaker grounds themself in the one fact they can, saying "I love you, that's all I know." In the lives people lead, there is never one answer to how to exist and why, and this song finds the stability and beauty that love can bring throughout life's every day struggles and metaphysical questioning. Bask in the euphoric sanctuary of love with this heartfelt and introspective song.
Opening with glowing ambient instrumentals, percussion and Fran's low, soft vocals, "I Love You as the Sun Comes Up" sets an intimate mood. The sound of this song washes over you like a sunny day with elements like birds chirping blending beautifully with the chords and melody. A feeling of closeness comes through vocal layers of Fran's low voice and high feminine singing, performed by Fran's anonymous girlfriend through the chorus. It carries a sound that is both delicate and exciting with soft percussion racing rapidly before delving into an instrumental post-chorus interlude of keys, electric guitar, and synth chords. The instrumentals dissolve into a pulsing reverb sound that hits the ear with the spirit of a euphoric memory. Layered vocals join in again with the fast-paced instrumentals, bringing a tone of upbeat connection to the track. Let this song take you through romantic bliss and sanctuary with its heartwarmingly positive and personal sound.
