069: Lindsay Reamer - Necessary

Drifting in on that same sweet summer breeze that underpins so much of the music release on the Dear Life Records label, 'Necessary' is the subtle and gorgeous new single from Lindsay Reamer.

The track is the second single to be released from a brand new album, Natural Science, which arrives via Dear Life in just a couple of weeks time, August 16th. A somewhat breezier undertaking than lead single 'Figs and Peaches', the track finds Reamer in equally compelling voice, her hazy tones carving out a small moment of restraint amid the restlessness of a summer that feels like it's coming apart at the seams.

Without researching the fact, this is surely the first time the Jon Bon Jovi hologram has been referenced in a folk song, and from that starting point the song unwinds through small pockets of everyday, often mundane snapshots of a life: a motel room, an inflight magazine, a rotisserie chicken.

Finally, in a graceful swoop, the track finds a way to dig its nails in, and linger in the long-after, Reamer closing out the song with a gentle sigh of memory:

You show me it’s okay to depend on somebody
Not just okay
But necessary
