Well this is a beauty of a track to start the month off with!
This starts off so simply, just a piano and what sounds like a muted floor tom playing triplets. But it’s the vocals that come in low that sets it off because when the harmonies come in it’s spine tingling. They come in on certain key words, and the impact made me applaud the whole song. Everything sits beautifully within this song. The piano isn’t playing anything rhythmic, it’s three chords that circle around – G Major, Bb Major A Major repeat. You get incidental chords but it’s not enough to distract you from the song as a whole. but you can hear when the pedals are being pressed.. there’s a guitar part that comes in too just a couple of chords… you’re anticipating something big coming but it doesn’t and that’s the whole beauty of this song… I love it! Probably one of my favourite songs of the year. Oh and there’s an album coming!
