Rapt, the moniker of London-based singer and songwriter Jacob Ware, shares his brand new single Ocean Lay Straight, a delicate indie-folk gem!
Taken from his upcoming series Not All Is Dark & All Is Never Lost, Ocean Lay Straight is a gentle, reflective meditation on love, loss, and the way pain shapes connection. It’s a song about recognising fragility in ourselves and others and find meaning in having shared that vulnerability, even if the relationship didn’t last. I am also enjoying the touches of melancholia and how smooth and expressive his vocals are, soaring effortlessly over the infectious strings and guitar plucks that come together to create an overall warm, intimate atmosphere!
