Drawing us in with a glistening and layered guitar soundscape showcasing instrumental mastery, and manifesting emotive arpeggios with timeless nuance, Liri Dais open Two Falling Ribbons with metaphorical depth as they share the words, “You live on the right, left and centre, you see the world upside down, I’ll take you in from the cold, if you bring me in, you’ll never know…”
The opus expands with folk-adjacent strings, and textured drums with celestial prose as we experience a warm yet quiet intensity. The song feels intimate and draws us into a world of longing and gentle emotion.
Sonically, the track is perfect for a range of sync deals. A Hollywood coming of age story, or we could even imagine it being sung at The Bronze in the upcoming reboot of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, whilst a cinematic montage takes place. There is a soft essence in the sound that mirrors the vulnerability in the lyrics.
The imagery is simple but powerful, and captures a sense of connection that is both beautiful and fragile. The vocals hold a hope and melancholia, and we can feel the push and pull sentiment of desire and distance.
Musically, the track is rich and masterfully created, but not overdone. We learn that it was recorded in London. It balances organic tones with subtle AI enhancements, which feel very human in all fairness. That said, these touches give it a modern edge without losing its warmth or soul.
Liri Dais is a strong storyteller. Each line feels intentional, and each melody is shaped carefully. The song feels both personal and relatable. Overall, Two Falling Ribbons is a triumph. It’s emotive, polished and sincere.
We have added Two Falling Ribbons to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream Liri Dais‘ exquisite, growing discography, including the entirety of their 2025 album, Born in a Landslide.
