Beev Rations' new single sounds natural and refreshing musically as suggestive and inspiring in its lyrics, as, wrapped in a waltzing Indie Pop-Rock crescendo -with marked touches of Folk and Psychedelic Rock- Alan James conveys in a warm, relaxed and enthusiastic vocal tone -from the heart-, a simple yet profound fact that, expressed in the song's title and shelled throughout it, we all in one way or another know from direct experience.
From basic recordings made in the early days of 2019, of Alan James singing and accompanying himself on acoustic guitar, four years later the track is recovered, with the rest of the instrumentation added now. So, once again, the formula used in Jelly Realities (2022) and Carrotade (2023) works again in this Everything's Fine If You Are Glad, with which the two periods of BR (the first mostly acoustic and the second -since 2020- purely electric) merge here creating something original and unprecedented, which is neither the first nor the second (maybe the third or, at least, part of it?). Something, on the other hand, typical of a band that, far from repeating itself, never ceases to reinvent itself and explore new sonic paths.
The emotive and sparkling official video only enhances the celebratory, light and comforting single's tone, that expresses and matches its lyrical content; so that, if you feel good listening to it, you will notice that, at the end of the song, maybe you will see your things and matters in a different way or from a different perspective... In short, better. Isn't that amazing in itself?
lyrics
Everything's fine
if you are glad
living right here
and now.
All things get better
if you smile
sharing the love
we are
And see what a magic,
all fear vanishes
when you laugh
and love
I found a place
for you and I
and everyone
with heart
It's everywhere
at any time
it's a natural state
called love...
I.
It's everywhere
at any time
it's a natural place
called love
It's everywhere
at any time
it's a natural place
called love...
It's everywhere
at any time
it's a natural place
called love...
It's everywhere
at any time
it's a natural state
called love...

Beev Rations is an indie band of bedroom pop-rock, which music, always alternative, is deeply influenced by the root-styles
of Rock, flourishing from the heart with full flavour in those juicy little pearls of songs, expresions of an own musical language....more
