Lyle Muskat’s newest song, “Choose Love,” is a door you can open and softly invite anyone who dares to walk through. There’s something profoundly empowering about that. It doesn’t pretend that love is always the easiest option, but it makes a good case for why it’s correct. In a moment when so much feels uncertain, Lyle Muskat provides us with a steady hand and a hopeful heart. “Choose Love” is a mantra, an aural kiss of clarity that our humanity rests on community.
There are no big, flashy devices to lean on in Muskat’s production and no overpolished effects. Instead, it allows the song’s heart to speak for itself. There’s something about the voice that isn’t threatening; it’s gently self-righteous, as if he has seen the storm clouds himself, but he still believes the sun must shine just over the horizon. There’s a melodious warmth about the track that hugs you like the embrace of an old friend. Whether you are listening in the morning calmly or winding down from a long day, “Choose Love” is a sort of musical reset, a call to lean into compassion, lead with empathy, and remember our collective humanity.
“Choose Love” feels like a warm sunrise: familiar, relaxing, and full of promise. With its earnest lyrics and uplifting melodic glow, the song is the band’s way of sending out a positive message that can’t come soon enough in these toxic times: in a world full of noise and discord, we still have the choice to love. Hopefully, this track will hit home with you looking for a healthy dosage of meaning, warmth, and a tiny hint of light in your playlist on the other side of the world.
