Single Review—Garden Vibes by The Song Gardeners

How Toil In The Soil Transforms Our Lives: A Musical Reward To All Gardeners In The World

For their new single ‘Garden Vibes’, The Song Gardeners pick up an unusual theme and develop an interesting musical narrative. There are tons of resources online and offline on gardening. But, have you ever come across a song on growing plants in our backyard? Sounds strange! Isn’t it?

Gardening as an activity or hobby has many dimensions to it: It is a nice little way of ‘greening’ the world. It promotes a deeper connection with nature; gives an opportunity to unleash creativity and find some form of physical activity to beat stress in the company of our flora friends. In the process, we end up developing something that supplies a few veggies to our kitchen, as well as gives us a lovely place to unwind after a hectic day’s physical and mental hassles.

A Musical Reward To All Gardeners In The World

In “Garden Vibes,” The Song Gardeners embed a truly inspiring purpose to their mission. I feel the composer intends to reward all those souls that have spared some toil in the soil out of personal interest to develop a green space, ultimately showing them that they have done a splendid job – a multipurpose project useful to themselves and the community too.

The simple but profound lyrics takes over the entire show, resonating with our common understanding of what gardening is. It is amazing to see the song describe some nice scenes in the garden and list some interesting chores of gardening. Especially I liked the lines sung by the chorus,

“Good for the body, good for the mind

Cultivate cycles of life

Edible energy feeds my soul

Sowing the seeds of time”,

which beautifully summarizes the most wonderful things about gardening. I can’t help but admire the phrase “Edible energy feeds my soul”, which highlights the physical and psychological benefits of gardening. ‘The energy derived from gardening feeding our soul’ is a fabulous idea that highlights the incredible merits of gardening.

Take Away

Words and Music for the song has been accomplished by Corrie Dunn. David Scheibner on guitars, James Butler on synths and percussion, Corrie Dunn on keys and lead vocals, and Mary Gospe on background vocals – the team has given its best in all to carry the audience away to a lovely garden to visualize those nice scenes over there, have some mental respite and also carry an inspiring message on the benefits of gardening. I found ‘Garden Vibes’ an interesting and inspiring single. At the end of the listening, I couldn’t resist the urge to pick up a few tools and set foot in my garden soil.

This is a nice song you can share with kids to inspire them on the importance of ‘Going Green’. I am sure, you will fall in love with this lovely song and appreciate the nice work The Song Gardeners have done in the single, and probably in their gardens too.
