Tracy Chen – Okay

Here’s one from ten months ago because when you woke up this morning your first ponderance was surely “I wonder what songs from May last year I should listen to today”
‘Okay’ is the wind in your face as you stand on the Winter coast. It’s a moment that you’re remembering better than it actually was, the lens of retrospect filtering the past so that it appears to encompass all that you wish you had now. It’s too perfect, too picturesque, too gorgeous, because the memory has deteriorated and you’ve glossed over the coarse edges of how things were to end up with a tableau more of your rose-tinted imaginings than any real thing that you’ve experienced. That’s the magic of a song of the kind that Tracy has made. It’s an entirely recontextualizing experience and I can’t wait to see what’s next from the Adelaide native.
