Jakob Wedl's "pretty backyard" is a hauntingly beautiful example of the emotional depth he's achieved as a singer-songwriter. The song opens with an intimate and spiritual intensity, transporting us to a dimension that is both personal and universal. Wedl's flawless pop vocals are the highlight of this song, with a captivating timbre that combines introspective poetry and honest reflection. This song is plainly a diary entry, composed during a time of inner turmoil and sadness.

The track is magnificent, complex, and full of mental nuance. A magnificent guitar tone steers the music, evoking a sense of deep contemplation, while hallucinogenic percussion slowly shifts the mood. As the song progresses, the artist takes us on a nearly psychedelic pop journey, brilliantly mixing futuristic elements with a timeless message. Week's creative design is easy to pick out as it stands out. 

The vocal pitch changes, albeit subtle, are a nice addition and lend complexity to an already creative and current work. The track tells a story of heartache reflecting on a beautifully planned future, one full of children with one's lover and a small house with a pretty backyard which appears to be nothing but fantasy after a heartbreak.  The song's strong emotion is perceivable and each lyric reflects the artist's authenticity

For anyone who has gone through the painful process of letting go of someone with whom they once anticipated a future,” Pretty Backyard” is surely going to be relatable, helping to express caged feelings and thoughts by providing both peace and understanding. The raw honesty in the track reflects Wedl’s soul helping to connect with listeners through sound and it will be surprising if this isn't part of your playlist yet.
