‘Garden of Letters’ by Carlos Ucedda
Carlos Ucedda, who has been very active this year, also ends the year with one last great release. As always, the keyword is art-pop, and this year he has given it an enormously colourful variety, combining it with avant-garde pop or a touch of post-punk and dark wave.
‘Garden of Letters’, the new release, follows the path of 80s dream/synth pop and provides a wonderful musical framework for the lyrics. The lyrics thematise the duality of love and loss. The song shows how love can be a source of joy and inspiration as well as pain and longing. The preservation and remembrance of past feelings indicate an attempt to preserve the emotional value and meaning of past relationships. The capriciousness of love, the failure of romantic promises, and the search for meaning and comfort in memories of past affection.
The listener is invited to reflect on the transience and emotional complexity of human relationships. In ‘Garden of Letters’, Carlos Ucedda's interpretation becomes a personal portrait that radiates depth, calm, and melancholic longing. The passionate yet fragile mood of the vocal part creates a space for reflection, appropriate for the quiet time of year.
