Folk
The song takes the strength of folk or pop, yet as the tale unfolds the music erupts into something even more powerful & reflective of rising emotions.
The minimalist, organic sounds that provide the building blocks for the music have something very honest & real about them, it feels extremely genuine.
Clever & effective songwriting, it satisfies as all great music should, and furthermore – it highlights the work of an experienced & thoughtful songwriter.
The hook is strong, bright sounding & memorable. The words are easy to learn & the result is a very heartfelt & thoughtfully crafted song.
There’s hope & sadness, quiet & chaos, much like life itself. A stunning collection of songs, with a sublime array of musical prowess & moving performances.
The song is openly declarative of the songwriter’s true feelings. An honest & proud dedication to a faith, and everything plays a part in reinforcing this.
The instrumental sounds throughout are varied & always interesting. There’s a definite sense of personality, and this makes it all the more enjoyable.
The fuller instrumental arrangement actually supports & compliments the power of the vocal & the feeling behind the lyrics superbly. It sounds incredible.
My structure is simple; well placed instruments with well placed vocals. I use the Kiss Method in song writing – Keep It Simple, Stupid.
The songwriter puts forth a creative energy driven by his own passion & thought process. The music is striking – warm, comforting, yet always unpredictable.
