“Good To Be Alive” by Dryadic is a warm embrace of joy
Dryadic’s new single, “Good To Be Alive,” feels like a soothing balm for the soul. It blends folk and jazz elements into a warm, relaxing song that captures the essence of a lazy afternoon. With the smooth vocals of Zora McDonald at the forefront, this track invites you to reflect and find joy, evoking the bittersweet memories of long lockdown days.
This song shines in its relatable, conversational lyrics. It feels like sharing stories on a boat along the Kennet and Avon Canal, where the song was inspired. This authenticity and warmth are a refreshing change in today’s fast-paced music scene.
Recorded at Brighton Road Studios with producer Jake Skinner, “Good To Be Alive” flows naturally. Zora’s heartfelt storytelling shines through, accompanied by the gentle sounds of Aly Rainey’s fiddle and George Pearson’s deep bass, while Emma Holbrook’s soft drumming adds a steady rhythm that enhances the overall mood without overwhelming it.
The song captures a beautiful balance between moments of calm and celebration, blending memories with the joy of being present. As Zora puts it, there’s a “cheeky twist at the end” that serves as a playful reminder of life’s unexpected moments that keep us humble and appreciative. “Good To Be Alive” is an invitation to pause, breathe, and enjoy the simple beauty of life. It’s like a comforting embrace that lingers long.

Mark Winters celebrates life’s best moments on new release “All In The Rhythm”
Mark Winters’ new track, “All In The Rhythm,” is a warm and moving folk-pop release that celebrates the quiet truth that life’s best moments often come from staying in step with the people we love. The song has an organic sense of openness and forward motion, inspired by a hike in Zion National Park.
“All In The Rhythm” captures the grounding simplicity of walking, breathing, and sharing meaningful moments with others, with an acoustic guitar and a steady pulse. That pulse-like rhythm is symbolic not just of music, but of connection itself.
The track hits home because of its uplifting honesty. It poses a serious question: what if the search for happiness is not about more, but about movement in harmony with loved ones, with life, with the now? That notion gives the song emotional weight without weighing down its bright spirit.
The folk-pop foundation lends it accessibility and charm. The steady groove propels the song with a reassuring, alive momentum, while acoustic textures add warmth. It’s easy to imagine listeners connecting with its hopeful message, because it speaks to something universal.
