Song’s review
🎸 Garrett Anthony Rice: Dreamy Acoustic Rock Music
From the first real chord, “Going Up (to see him)” wraps you in a hazy, guitar-pushed warmth that seems to be sustained by the music itself. Garrett Anthony Rice blends acoustic rock with dreampop textures to such effect that the music seems to flow against the playing — soft, unhurried, quietly cinematic there’s an alt-gen honesty drifting beneath the dreaminess, giving the lyrics grounded, dwell-good, while the melody skyward It wanders. It’s the look of the tune that rewards a second attention, revealing small details in the guitar diagrams that you may have overlooked the first time around.
Lyrically and emotionally, the tune leans toward melancholy without ever tipping into sentimentality. There’s an epic pleasure in its making, subtle instead of showy, that makes the journey currently feel private and ordinary. Rice’s voice has just enough vulnerability to ground the “going up to see him” narrative with real weight. Overall, this is an exquisitely layered piece — dreamy, melancholy, and quietly effective. A standout well worth including to any mellow-vibes playlist.
