Peter Salett's acoustic number "Sunshine" could border on Country, however, Salett instead touches upon a more Acoustic Indie paradox. I came across "Sunshine" in the film "Down In The Valley" starring Edward Norton and Evan Rachel Wood. Later I found out that Peter Salett actually was the musical composer for the entire film. That being said, Salett used a mixture of Alt-Country/Indie and Alternative variations to each track. Yet with "Sunshine" there was an immediate attraction. It was not that other songs sound similar to this track, it may have been the case that "Sunshine" appears to be extremely personal. A love song dedicated to someone without their knowing. A hidden gem that hits all the right points without being an overly produced number.
"Sunshine" addresses the fictional concept of forever, when two people have encountered the "honeymoon" phase or another example would be one person view about how they truly feel about another. So this could very well be a song about a one-sided love.
Nevertheless, Salett composes a simplistic beauty of a song to the point where even the guitar could be on the brink of weeping. While taking a first listen one may think that there is a lullaby essence to the track... and even so "Sunshine" stands up against many love songs before it. Yet the difference is the sincerity connected and readily intact to "Sunshine". Whether years pass by or not, "Sunshine" will pop up at some point and make a point of stopping you with whatever you are doing just to take a breather, reflect and wonder what could have been.
In reality, Salett has been attached to a number of classic films. "Wet Hot American Summer", "Superbad", "Role Models" and "By The People: For The People" which is just to name a few.
