Rachael Sage is back with a beautiful new single Canopy, which is a heartfelt song with shimmering folk-pop tunes and a message of solidarity and kindness. Rachael, with her colorful energy and poetic songwriting, presents one of her most touching works to date – a song that is both personal and strong.
“Canopy” is full of sound and emotion layers. With the very first notes you are drawn into the warm musical hug. Rachael sings softly but resolutely over an acoustic guitar, full strings and light percussion. Every lyric has a purpose as it creates an image of protection, love, and bravery to care in a harsh world. The message of the song, of protecting and taking care of our loved ones, is simple yet strong and very necessary.
“Canopy ” is produced by Rachael herself and engineered by Mikhail Pivovarov; the list of musicians involved is impressive indeed: violinist Kelly Halloran, cellist Dave Eggar and guitarist James Mastro. Their combined sound is shimmering and breathing and enriches each note.
The song is about the nature, and the music video is shot in the sun-drenched nature, which perfectly catches the essence of the song. Rachael puts on rainbow paint on her eyelids as a symbol of her solidarity with the LGBTQ + community, and her visual aesthetic follows the same dare-to-be-different spirit that animates her songs.
“Canopy” is simply a beautiful song and it serves as a call to action, a friendly reminder that empathy and kindness are not ignored. In a sometimes seemingly divided world, Rachael Sage has created a beautiful healing anthem that we all need shelter…and that we are that shelter to one another. Through this song she has not only displayed her talent but her heart too.
