Polar Bear – a sort of Christmas-ish song

Polar Bear by Ed Boxall on #SoundCloud

This is one of my favourite songs I’ve written.

All about the polar bear who wanders the streets of Hastings.

Full of the nostalgia I feel for snow.

Full of the happy sad loneliness of winter…and fifty squillion 12 string guitars!

She Smiles and You Are Born Again

My song ‘She Smiles and You Are Born Again’ just got a lovely review on ‘Click Roll Boom’! The reviewer really listened closely and connected with the track. Hope you do too 🙂

Listen on Spotify here:

‘Hazily jubilant soundscape’ (Amy from Click Roll Boom)

…but here’s some highlights:

A bright, joyful indie pop song sharing the indulgent feeling of falling in love, ‘She Smiles and You’re Born Again’ is a wonderfully positive, unapologetically warming sunshine-laced tune. It will fill your ears with happiness and your heart with a benevolent glow.

Beautifully melodic and charmingly wonky. The elements of imperfection, the slightly scratchy guitars, and off-key vocals truly bring ‘She Smiles and You’re Born Again’ to life. They allow Ed’s endearing, friendly demeanor to glisten through.

It’s a vibrantly retro-sounding track featuring a hazy jubilant soundscape of uplifting folky guitars and some 60s, psychedelic-infused moments. It transports the listener back to romantic days of young love and playful summers.

Ed has a magically unique voice; he’s a superb songwriter channeling real-life themes in a homely manner. Catchy and alluring ‘She Smiles and You’re Born Again’ is simply magnificent!
