Some songs do not just play; they wrap around you like a feeling that you have forgotten. They carry emotion and memories across time and space, reminding you of what you have loved and lost. ‘The haunting’, the newest release from Second Choice, taps into that power. With vocals and lyrics by Dimi de San, the song feels like a shared secret whispered through the dark. The track opens with slow rhythms, almost like a shadow creeping in. The atmospheric guitar synths lead the way, making the composition feel like something that you will remember long after the first listen.
Second Choice began as a solo project with ideas that did not fit into the metal band that the artist was a part of at that time. Over the years, the project became something more. It slowly became a place for exploring sound and music in a way that nobody had experimented with before. In an industry where success almost comes in a formula, the artist dared to do something else and break free. This is what is heavily reflected in this newest release, which steps into a more emotional, sentimental, and cinematic side of music. The song is supported by minimal yet powerful textures throughout its entire run. The artists have induced no rush for the listeners, leaving them to enjoy the composition at their own pace.
What makes ‘The haunting’ so beautiful and stands out from other songs in his discography is that every note in the song matters, and every pause lingers with the listeners. This prompts them to return to the composition time and time again. Vocals on the track are given by Dimi de San, and they float in like a memory in the arrangement. With vocals so soft and full of feeling, the artist brings the lyrics to life in a magical, ghostly way. Apart from the enchanting composition and dreamy vocals, the star of the song is truly the verses. The opening line, “The tide rolls in like a whispered sin, / A funeral hymn in the undertow,” is something that stands true to the title of the song. When listeners hear the words, they feel them. The sea becomes the metaphor for both desire and grief – reminding the audience of things they wish but cannot forget. When it comes to the production of the entire song, listeners will find depth in the mix. Ambient layers are drifting like a fog, and guitars add in that shimmer that keeps everything together.
‘The haunting’ is just the next step in a long journey for Second Choice. From playing guitar in the early ’90s to building this ever-evolving project, his sound has turned into something mature, something deeply personal. You can listen to the latest track on Spotify along with some of his previous songs like ‘Warlord’, ‘Man of shadows’, ‘Lullaby’, ‘Never enough’, etc.
