Steven Starley is a musician from Herriman, UT, who has been playing music for decades. Starley mentions “I enjoy writing and recording music in my personal home recording studio. After I build the instrument stems, I write the lyrics.” Fair enough. Starley recently released “From The First Day.”
With its positive and uplifting energy, this song radiates pure joy. The delightful composition embraces a fusion of keys, bass, drums, airy pads and more, creating a mesmerizing symphony of sound. The vocals seamlessly blend into the mix, adding an enchanting allure. Lyrically, the song paints a vivid and romanticized picture, evoking feelings of love and wonder. The vocalist beautifully croons, "From the first day in that small town cafe, I could tell we would be much more than friends. Everyday, all you do is amaze, as if you could see through my soul." The vocal melodies are irresistibly catchy, and the song exhibits exceptional structural brilliance. Notably, the captivating guitar solo stands out as a testament to remarkable artistry, reminiscent of the mesmerizing lead work prevalent in the ‘80s. Its length and masterful execution leave a lasting impression, captivating the listener from start to finish. I would say in general this song has a clear ’70s and ’80s type of flavor from the production to the songwriting. That being said, the song seems to have a contemporary appeal as well. There’s also a mix of rock and pop on this song that Starley is able to carve out with precision. This isn’t the only song Starley has to listen to. If you listen and enjoy this I recommend checking out some of his other songs.
