Peter Derzbach’s portrait of ‘Deni’, a mature woman who provides and infinite source of love, comfort and reassurance to her five children and husband lends itself perfectly to the sentimental wanderings of daydreamers the world over.
Gentle guitars build up throughout the song but let the melancholic lyrics take precedent throughout the brooding narrative, only to contrast with the harmonious cloud chasing chorus (“She’s a star”) which temporally subdues any maternal concerns raised. A mix of Ash meets Suzanne Vega with a shot of Weezer thrown in for good measure, ‘Deni’ makes you feel like giving your old mum a good long hug.
