Jared Layo’s “Like The First Time” is a Nostalgic Masterpiece

 

Few feelings are more potent than nostalgia; Jared Layo nails it in “Like The First Time.” Even without a pandemic forcing you to be locked up at home, this is a 2023 song when you think of it, a 2022 song you listen to, a 2022 song you can feel.

This is a rich and cinematic instrumental, balancing elements of soft rock with ambient textures. The result is a single that’s both intimate and grand — a duality that relatively few artists can pull off. Jared's voice is raw and visceral, and every lyric is delivered with a deep sense of emotion and sincerity.

Lyrically, the song examines the desire to go back in time, to feel something as strongly as you did when it first occurred. Be it love, youth or a brief illusion of liberation, Jared accesses a collective wish for time to halt. The chorus is a hauntingly beautiful experience, drawing listeners further into the emotional center of the track.

“Like The First Time” is a song that will add to your nostalgic imagination, making you think about the good old days and all the moments we will never have again. Jared Layo has crafted a classic that will echo through listeners' ears for years to come.
