The Greystones-based Irish songwriter gives the track plenty of room to breathe. Its expansive instrumentation recalls the reflective side of early Britpop and melodic rock, while a subtle shift into a minor key midway through quietly alters its emotional centre. Nothing is overstated; the arrangement allows uncertainty to remain part of the song.
That restraint is precisely what makes the invitation suggested by the title intriguing. Is it about intimacy, nostalgia or something more dangerous?
Following singles exploring memory, loss, mythology and broken connections, Rice turns here toward desire in its quieter forms. Equinox, his ambitious 18-track double album, continues that fascination with emotional complexity rather than easy resolution.
