Skittish’s latest release, “Mother Nature,” captures a quiet ache many of us know too well — the subtle, creeping disconnect that comes from living too long in the concrete rhythms of city life. With graceful vulnerability, the track is both a lament and a longing, a call to remember the grounding pulse of the natural world.
Lush vocals from Deza float over a warm, organic arrangement, inviting the listener to slow down and breathe. The renowned Phil Madeira brings his signature Nashville touch to the piano, offering soulful, textured lines that echo the track’s yearning. Chris Madden’s organ adds a spiritual undertone, while Matt Davies’s drums keep the heartbeat steady and intimate.
“Mother Nature” doesn’t shout — it whispers truths we’ve forgotten, beckoning us back to a sense of presence and place. Skittish reminds us that while the city might shape us, nature is what truly sustains us. A timely anthem for a world that’s forgotten how to listen.
