With a moving performance between piano and string quartet, Peridot gives us an ode to the passage of time. There are so many things every day that don’t get to choose, which is why having the right partner by your side can make all the difference.
At its core, this song is about giving thanks for all of life - the mistakes, the interruptions, and the improvisations - and remembering the people that helped us make sense of it. The counterpoint of the string arrangement couples with the classical element from the piano performance, and we are left with a bittersweet retrospective about family and friends moving in and out of perspective.
