On Grace Inspace's latest single "Good Days," she's thinking a lot about time and its purpose. How does one spend it? How does one interpret it? How do the past, present, and future collide into one? In recent times, when everything feels like despair's unwashed armpit, good days are hard to find. But if you keep your eyes open and pay attention, Grace Inspace assures you that it's all right in front of you.
Co-produced by Grace with Last Shadow Puppets' Zach Dawes and featuring Arctic Monkeys' Matt Helders on drums, "Good Days" is a bohemian dream-pop gem. A bit Hatchie and a bit Hazel English, opalescent synths frolic among spacey percussion and chiffon vocal layering. "The nostalgic air is like moving through honey / Searching for time, Burning through your money," goes one line. "Good Days" captures happiness' fleeting aura and the constant hunger for a moment of its brightness.
"'Good days' is an algorithmic approach to personal happiness in which duties and delights are equitably mixed in a personal calculus based on one’s unique experiences of satisfaction, comfort, and bliss," Inspace shares of the single. "Relishing in the small joys and daydreams and noticing the mundane beauty all around can be a life raft."
