Soul and funk acoustic songwriter and vocalist Ged Wilson captures a smoky jazz vibe, smoothly blending nostalgia and the clarity of modern times. Regular Man is a catchy and relatable groove and song, built around a funky guitar and keys combination, and short lines that confidently reflect upon the scenes and implications of being a Regular Man.
Featuring a classic shuffle of a rhythm and a warped, distorted guitar solo later on, Regular Man feels both familiar and independently organic as it rolls along. The idea is that humility and this easy-going warmth, something highlighted in both the set-up and lyricism. While the second verse sees things get a little more poetic and personal, more honest and evocative, the hook still returns to that contrasting uplift – the bounce of the beat and melody, naturally juxtaposing the concept of this relentless rain and these struggles that our Regular Man must constantly grapple with.
It’s a timeless style, a live sound well-recorded, and no doubt Ged Wilson and band would deliver a mood-boosting live show of Regular Man in any and all settings.
