"Talk To Me Noise," from the sixth track off Songs For The Visitor by Lovely Trees (Sally McKay) an artist from Toronto, provides an emotional refuge in that combines grief, nostalgia and love together in one powerful sound like a haunting, the almost physically felt experience of this self-produced song is intensely personal story of loss and the longing for her husband and musical partner, Mike Young, who has died. As a listener, it transcends the typical singer-songwriter song experience that immerses you almost in a mystical conversation between the living and the spirit world.
With its layers of ambient textures, delicate instrumentals, and McKay's soft vocal treatments, "Talk To Me Noise" feels like a whisper sent out into the air. The lyrics are an invitation to nature, signs, birdsong, dimes on the floor, creaks in the night, as if these common items might somehow relay information between the two worlds. Ultimately, this is a splendid spiritual, grounded, and cathartic listening experience.
Lovely Trees doesn’t just mourn; she listens. “Talk To Me Noise” is a song that encourages us to listen to the strange, beautiful ways we stay connected to those we have lost.
It reminds us of the echoes of love that travel beyond the veil and noise, and sometimes, in darkness and silence, we may hear it calling us back.
