We feel some connections without knowing why, and others that seem to be meant to be but aren’t. Melyssa Lee’s “Just Friends” does a great job of capturing this complicated and sometimes confusing emotional landscape with a sensitivity that is both rare and strong. This song is the second track on upcoming EP with Education Party, and it talks about the universal theme of inexplicable bonds, which are people in our lives who leave a lasting mark on us, even if there is no romance involved.
“Just Friends” was inspired by Kurt Vonnegut’s “Karass” and shows how these kinds of relationships fit into the larger picture of the universe. The music is thoughtful, with folk-inspired instruments and warm, personal vocals that make it sound like it could be about anyone. This song makes people think about the people who are important to them, even if they don’t know why.
“Just Friends” is great because it is both deep and easy to understand. The idea is philosophical, but the way it is done is based on real music. The melody stays in your head, the arrangements are easy to follow, and the lyrics make you think without being too much. It’s a soft look at how people connect, and it makes you want to listen to it again and pay close attention to the small things.
It’s nice to hear Melyssa Lee’s music because it’s deep and soulful, and “Just Friends” makes you think, feel, and see the connections that are there but aren’t always clear. This song is both a friend and a revelation for anyone trying to figure out the complicated nature of relationships.
