French Musician and composer Mark J SOLER has released a new single ‘Lazy Song’, a three-minute instrumental piece inspired by relaxing moments, conducive to inner thoughts, and of course Music as the conductor toward a form of ‘spirituality’.
“Lazy Song” was composed, played, and produced to sound like a slightly hypnotic jazz groove, deliberately laid back, like time stretching out over a solitary, quiet evening. The piano’s slightly off-sync phrasing aims to give a dreamy, drowsy sway, creating a psychedelic lounge atmosphere that’s both playful and disorienting.
“That was the intent in any case,” explains Mark. “With a simple melody to convey the introspective nature of such moment.
“Lazy Song” is part of a short EP, Walks, gathering three different styles of instrumental songs, all inspired by the ‘inner life’ idea, i.e. reproducing the world in thoughts, through Introspection, Solitude, Meditation… on Desires, Regrets, Acceptance, Nostalgia.. there are many aspects of it, making spirituality, Music being its natural language.
The second song in the EP is “Walking in the City”.
“Walking is known as one of the best remedies to evacuate dark thoughts and get back to a positive inner vision of the external world. I live near Paris. I walk a lot in the city that communicates its energy and beauty.”
The third title is called “Inner Life”, about prayer.
