Remedies‘ “On My Mind” captures the tug-of-war between holding on and letting go. It’s love seen through a window, close but unreachable, tender yet impossible to grasp. The lyrics unfold like a quietly written poem, wrapped in warm pop-folk tones that never feel heavy, even as they speak about loss. It’s that bittersweet paradox—the song feels almost buoyant, even when its story leans on heartbreak.
What struck me most is the chorus. It blooms in that friendly, open way that indie-folk does best—like a crowd singing together around a campfire, yet still carrying intimacy at its core. Sigrid Ravn Ryan’s timbre holds both fragility and clarity, the kind of voice that makes you stop whatever you’re doing, not because it demands attention, but because it feels like it’s confiding in you.
There’s also something coastal about the whole track. Maybe it’s the expansiveness in the arrangement, or maybe it’s just how it made me feel—like standing by the ocean with someone’s name echoing in your chest. It has that flow of tides, easy to listen to, comforting in its rhythm, and vast in its emotion.
About Remedies:
Hailing from Narvik in Northern Norway, Remedies have been crafting their alt-pop/rock blend since 2016. With Tor Erik Krane Ursin handling the instruments and Sigrid Ravn Ryan bringing her voice to the foreground, the duo are no strangers to attention—whether it was “Delusions”, their debut EP picked up by Spotify’s New Music Friday Norway, or their 2022 album “Lights Out”, which turned heads across Nordic music blogs and radio. Comparisons have been made to Bel Canto, The Cardigans, even Bertine Zetlitz, but what’s exciting is how their upcoming 2025 releases promise to push them further into their own territory.
