I\u2019m all chilled out from listening to it and it\u2019s setting my Sunday afternoon off perfectly. This is an acoustic led track with percussion, and I could be wrong but sounds like an acoustic bass plus keyboards. The harmonies are solid, nicely layered. What caught my attention was the chord progression, it made me smile. I love those kind of runs and the vocals sit comfortably on top. Let\u2019s talk arrangements &#8211; the whispered count off tells you what kind of track it is, slow and gentle we go.<br \/><br \/>What I like about the lyrics is the honesty:<br \/>\u201cNever been the one that got picked when they put the boys to pavement\u201d (Is that a reference to picking teams for football? I can relate &#8211; I have two left feet.)<br \/>The other thing is the honesty about feelings and this is old school writing in that way you can\u2019t dress it up. All in all a gorgeous song.<br \/><br \/>Jason Lapierre is guitarist, and producer who aims to cultivate unique musical colours that inspire deep feelings. Although leaning towards jazz and r&amp;b influenced music; Jason avoids constricting himself to a specific genre or style.<br \/><br \/>Walker is a guitarist from LA, who started playing at the age of 15. His favourite band is the Beatles.<br \/><br \/>Hey.<br \/><br \/>Mine too!<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a great combination of jazz and acoustic soul.
