“Sickie” is a low-key introduction to the “Woods For The Trees” album from Love And The Weather. It addresses burnout and the emotional toll of modern-day work life in a human way. The song feels intimate and universal at once, a secret passed around over a slow morning.
“Sickie,” Australian slang for taking a day off, shifts the idea of taking a day off from a luxury to a necessity. The song leans into this notion with a soft, contemplative arrangement in which acoustic sounds edge along the emotional heart. Love And The Weather’s vocals are laid-back, lending the song a more realistic quality. “Sickie” captures that feeling of a boring routine and of wondering what any of this means.
Love And The Weather is a studio collaborative project from the west coast of Victoria, Australia, and they exhibit a clear sense of identity and emotion. And with “Sickie,” they urge people to stop, breathe, and recognize they need time to recuperate. “Sickie” is pure contemporary folk music, simple and relatable in lyric. It speaks to Love And The Weather, knowing the beauty of stillness and the power in simply taking a moment.
