Writing of single ‘Better Now‘ back in April, we described how Brokenshire has pushed her folk style into more ambient directions, accepting the larger rhythms of life to create something more grounded and compassionate. A sound which sits patiently with difficulties. “As though,” we wrote in our piece, “embracing the emotional volatility of life can provide its own balm.”

New single ‘Dreamer’ continues this development, living up to its title with a mellow dream pop style. From within this welcoming space, Rose Brokenshire’s vocals lift and lilt with genuine compassion, lending the track a sense of kindness which permeates its every facet. Indeed it was written with such intentions in mind, offered as a reminder to anyone struggling of the simple value within their continued presence. “Even during difficult times where you feel stuck and your head may be spinning with regret,” Brokenshire says, “you are still moving forward softly and are on the right path, no matter how hard it might be to see or follow.” ‘Dreamer’ takes your hand and helps you see the path before your feet.

I want to take you in my arms
let you feel love, all that you are
you’re a dreamer
a wonder
the lightning
and the thunder
