MP3: 200 Years - "Solar System"
"Solar System" may introduce itself as a simple, hushed acoustic track with its somewhat stark beginning, but it's this very simplicity that makes it all feel rather spacious in the end. By leaving so much negative space untouched, the song grows into an increasingly tender piece that connects intimacy with universality. It's quiet, maybe even a bit reserved, but it's no less moving, or engaging.
"Solar System" is from 200 Years' debut album, 200 Years. Check out the moving portrait via jittery VHS below.
