Review: "Safe Place" - Dani Marchio

Dani Marchio's upbeat, romantic single "Safe Place" will lift you up with its blissful portrayal of love. The song begins with the speaker expressing the way looking at their partner leads to craving closeness. The speaker likens their partner to the sunrise and the northern lights, setting a rosy scene by peppering images of beautiful natural phenomena throughout the lyrics. The chorus emphasizes the want to be the support system and comfort for your partner, saying "you don't need to travel anywhere to know that you're home." Expressing the way time moves on, combined with a continuous desire to be together, "Safe Place" explores the beauty and warmth of a strong relationship.

Upbeat acoustic guitar opens this upbeat love song, setting a romantically invigorating atmosphere for the track. Airy, soft vocals work expressively through the verse, picking up an intimate breathiness. High, gentle layers of singing and dreamlike vocalizing through the chorus are exciting and reassuring at the same time. Through the second verse, percussion and bass fold into the instrumentals in a way that takes on the energizing lovestruck spirit of the lyrics. A sense of closeness comes through the way Dani melismatically stretches the word "you", infusing the lyric with deliberate warmth.
