“Rose Colored” by Soft Loft – A Song Feature

      The song inspires cheeriness and possesses the ability to lure listeners into moving to its rhythm, perhaps without them realizing it. While it is fair to categorize "Rose Colored" within the Pop genre, the song from Soft Loft carries a degree of sophistication that far surpasses the typical expectations associated with the genre. The lyrics are intelligently crafted and the instrumentation is well-conceived and well-executed.
 
     As its name implies, “Rose Colored” is a song about optimism, “spitting in the face” of difficulty. At the Facebook page of Soft Loft, they explain:
  “we‘ve been in love with this song for quite some time now and so happy to share it with you! ‘rose colored’ is about having a shit day but then entering a rose colored house, a space where everything is super duper mega great! so if you‘re having a shit time go to your very own rose colored house and turn it into something great.”
 
      Instrumentally, the brief bridge, which begins around the 2:05 mark, is particularly enjoyable. The percussion includes “clicking” that is highly appealing despite the lack of complexity. Is it merely two drumsticks? At the same time, the guitars are hooky and the keys provide swirls.
 
     The members of Soft Loft are Jorina Stamm (vocals, guitar), Lukas Kuprecht (drums), Marius Meier (bass), Sarina Schmid (keys, backing vocals), and Simon Boss (guitar). They are based in Switzerland. Gianluca Buccelatti performed the production for “Rose Colored.” It is the first single from their forthcoming debut album titled “The Party and the Mess.”
 
      The bio of the band is interesting:
  Soft Loft is a safe haven, an attitude, a way of life. It’s where the broken and the imperfect are embraced and celebrated. Soft Loft is non-hierarchical. Soft Loft is where reality is transmuted into dreams and dreams back into reality. Judgement is suspended here. Because vulnerability is the gateway to connection. Anything goes, as long as it’s heartfelt and it flows. Soft Loft is a collective of musicians dedicated to creating safe spaces using sound.

Lyrics of “Rose Colored” by Soft Loft
Lyon, the weather is poor
The room quite alright
The entrance hall impressive
The mood not so much
Can you build us up?
Can you build us up?
 
Lyon, the streets are filled
The traffic seems stressed
Or is it the people cursing
Out of their window
Can you build them up?
Can you build them up?
 
And now this mood in a rose colored house, a rose colored house
Can twist your mind around
This mood in a rose colored house, a rose colored house
Can twist your mind around
I wanna see you dance hey, hey
I wanna see us dance hey, hey
 
Imagine your beautiful curls
Being judged without cause
Stare as if it were a contest
You got this wrong
It’s out of your reach
This is out of your reach
 
Lyon, what happened to you?
Hiding parking in birds eye view oh oh oh
Can we build us up?
Can we build us up?
 
And now this mood in a rose colored house, a rose colored house
Can twist your mind around
This mood in a rose colored house, a rose colored house
Can twist your mind around
I wanna see you dance hey, hey
I wanna see us dance hey, hey
 
This mood in a rose colored house, a rose colored house
Can twist your mind around
This mood in a rose colored house, a rose colored house
Can twist your mind around
I wanna see you dance hey, hey
I wanna see us dance hey, hey
