It’s oddly comforting when artists convey the exact same feeling in their music, as if they’ve lived the same life as yours. Scott’s Tees’ “We Move As Fast As Storms Allow” is one of the few cuts that meets you there without drowning in sentimentality.
Scott’s Tees is an artist from Edmonton, Canada, drawing influences from iconic bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, and Iron and Wine. With We Move As Fast As Storms Allow, he blends alt-rock and folk sensibilities to create a track that feels a little surreal and symbolic.
The soft acoustic guitars from the start immediately give you warmth, think of clear skies and trees finally breathing, trying to shake off the weight of the past storms. Then the vocals enter, gentle yet worn, like it has just been carrying the traces of the rain while trying to step into light and calmness after everything.
The title, We Move As Fast As Storms Allow holds the whole track together, summing up life’s fleeting, ever-shifting nature. Scott’s Tees’ lyricism flows naturally, carrying depth and meaning as he sings, “I don’t want to leave this place, but I don’t know where to go.” You’ll feel it as if you’ve shared the same fears, storms, and dreams under one breath.
There’s so much heart and soul poured onto this track but it doesn’t feel heavy at all. It’s fragile but never drowning, the edges are never rough, just enough to be felt and reach your core. Nothing is overproduced. Scott’s Tees gives you something that is close to a passing thought at midnight translated into sound.
Overall, Scott’s Tees’ We Move As Fast As Storms Allow won’t hand you healing, it sits with you in when you’re stuck between chaos and clarity — the kind of comfort of knowing someone has felt it deep too.
