SINGLE REVIEW: Simon Hodges – Sometimes I Can’t Get Going When I First Wake Up In The Morning
Simon Hodges offers a charmingly laid-back track with “Sometimes I Can’t Get Going When I First Wake Up In The Morning.” This indie rock gem gracefully captures the languid feel of those sluggish mornings when getting out of bed seems like an uphill battle. The song opens with a soothing melody that immediately transports you to those hazy, slow-moving start-of-day moments.
Hodges’ vocals are wonderfully melodic, effortlessly smooth yet raw, delivering a performance that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable. The instrumentation is a bright, engaging blend of nostalgic ’90s indie rock with subtle nods to ’60s psychedelic vibes. This mix not only gives the track its catchy, immersive quality but also evokes a sense of wistful familiarity.
A subtly engaging horn section adds an extra layer of warmth and depth, striking a delicate balance between mellow introspection and vibrant rhythm. Hodges’ skillful integration of these elements results in a refreshing listen that captures the gentle struggle of beginning a new day with both tenderness and a touch of upbeat charm. The song’s overall vibe is one of endearing honesty, making it an ideal accompaniment for those moments when you need a little extra encouragement to rise and shine.
