When taking a chance with someone you had never considered turns into a real and fulfilling love, the world becomes magical. Laurel Mitchell’s new song “Tuesday, Parkway” captures this magic from feelings of attraction to discussions of the future. The song begins with “left my type in last June” and quickly progresses to being deeply connected to the speaker’s new person. It shows just how fast you can fall into feeling for someone when it’s right. The chorus ends with the line “Tuesday, parkway, you stole my heart” which gives that personal image of the specific moment the speaker associates with falling in love. While listeners’ precise moments may be different in their relationships, they can feel the emotion in the lyrics and be taken back to their own special place.
This glowingly warm song blends soft and expressive vocals with gentle instrumentals. An emotional feeling and a grounding excitement comes from the sound, with an opening of palm-muted guitar before Laurel’s conversational and light vocals come in. Through the first verse, the lyrics feel experimental in their sound, with a whisper like testing the waters of their meaning. Bright and uplifting instrumentals fold over the lyrics that express leaning into connection, reflecting the narrative quality of the words themself. In the chorus, listeners can feel the love and revelation in the vocals’ smooth high notes and the freedom introduced by the louder guitar and percussion. The second verse has a lovestruck transformation, with magical note trills, layered vocals, and an altogether brighter sound. Euphoric vocals lead to a final happy instrumental expression as the song ends, leaving listeners feeling enchanted.
