Get Your Mood Lifted by Casual Scene’s Shimmering Single “Pure Life”

Don’t let go of your summertime mood. Give it a boost with “Pure Life” by Portsmouth UK band Casual Scene.

Here’s a bop that earns its spin. Classic elements of jangle guitar, layered vocals and driving optimism.

I remember warm nights and summer days

Drifting out on a sea of haze — to you

Always to you

I wanted pure life and nothing more

But like the waves we were destined for the shore

How I long for more

“Pure Life” by Casual Scene

“Pure Life” hides within the happy beat a reflection on saying farewell. The vocalist will carry on loving but there is an acknowledgment of separation: “until the day I see you down the road.”

Then suddenly a reference to depression and self-determination, with a bold notion: “These are better days.”

It’s an ever-so-catchy debut for Casual Scene. There is a certain bravery in telling the world it can all be OK.

Released August 24, 2023, the video for “Pure Life” currently has 775 views on YouTube.
