Harmonica! This song comes roaring out of the gates with attitude, and it\u2019s a cracker. I really like Laurie\u2019s vocals on this, it sounds like he\u2019s having a blast recording it, but this belies the dark feeling behind the lyrics, there\u2019s a reason why he\u2019s always been \u201cup there\u201d, and he\u2019s open to sharing his truth, he\u2019s had his struggles.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Everyone knows how tough life really is, and he\u2019s acknowledged that in this song, with lyrics that tell it as it is, the ups and downs of playing festivals, and what that can potentially bring, he\u2019s been at this since a very young age, and it\u2019s good for him to let it out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a struggle that he\u2019s put out there, and as noted in his well crafted EPK (Thanks Sally!), the lyrics like \u201cI\u2019m fearing what I\u2019m feeling\u201d tells you this came from a dark place.<\/p>\n<p>I have mad respect for him and this song, and it\u2019s going to be in my top ten at the end of the year for plays already before the end of the year!<\/p>\n<p>Laurie Wright is from London, has achieved a LOT! Glastonbury aged 16, recorded at the Mecca of musicians Abbey Road, supported the Skinner Brothers, and got airplay from John Kennedy on Radio X. This lad has a lot ahead of him.<\/p>\n<p>Oh the single cover is unbelievably cute.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laurie Wright is back with a track with strong vocals, guitars, drums and\u2026.
