Think Denim, dad is the solo project of Belgian musician Levi Parent, and his new release “Well (Ain’t It Fun)” is a beautifully crafted piece of indie-pop. Released on June 6th, this song is one of four new tracks that signal a thoughtful and refined direction in Parent’s music.
“What (Ain’t It Fun)” combines cheerful jangly guitars, sparkling keys, and gentle drumming to create a soothing and warm sound. Listening to it feels like being wrapped in a soft blanket as it gently pulls at your heart. The song unfolds like a beautiful sunrise, bright and hopeful yet tinged with a touch of grief if you take the time to listen. The lyrics strike an exceptional balance between deep personal reflection and feelings that everyone can relate to. The parent sings, capturing the sense of time slipping away. It’s a gentle reminder of the tiredness many of us feel in our daily lives. The chorus offers a quiet honesty that lingers, supported by a rich and layered musical background that feels both intimate and expansive.
There’s a charming simplicity in how Parent weaves together grief and melody. He describes “Well (Ain’t It Fun)” as not just something to play in the background, it’s meant to be experienced fully. It’s the perfect soundtrack for reflective walks, late-night writing sessions, and those unexpected memories that suddenly come back to you.
