The song gathers momentum increasingly, forever blending metaphor and realism, as we explore the all-too-familiar topic of substance abuse. The set-up utilises contrast perfectly well, between moments of pace and power and those that pour through with the softness of intimate trip hop or exotic adlibs, and this helps reinforce the push-and-pull dynamic of being trapped in addiction.

Songs of hope, connection and communion, guided by darker fragments of subject matter and story, elevated by the warmth of soulful vocal depth and organic musical arrangements. Acoustic creative Patrick Ames never fails to entertain and connect with his original songs, and the brand new album Slow Dip Ahead is far from the exception.
