Organic guitar and honest, intimate vocals – real acoustic music and poetry united in a raw folk setting. Lisa E. Williams gets more contemplative and calming than ever, with the nostalgic longing and relatability of YOUNG.
Softly picked acoustic guitar strings and lower-toned, distinct vocals from Lisa E. Williams lead us down an old-school pathway, for this refreshingly genuine and unedited original song.
Indirectly opposing the rise of AI bands and artists with no humanity at the helm, Lisa’s music takes us somewhere authentic and, thus, deeply moving. We’re floating between the likes of Tracy Chapman and Damien Rice, later rising up towards more of a full arrangement – subtle guitar-solo fragments, a light rhythm, modest piano. It’s a brief but emotionally uplifting middle-8, before we drop back into the shaky uncertainty of letting go, for the song’s final harmonised verse and looping sentiment.
Subtle artistic twists in the fabric of this design help underline the true emotional vulnerability of YOUNG. Nothing flashy is required, but these minor additions to the mix help reinforce the difficulty of and simultaneous need for letting go and moving on.
The final line whispers softly a familiar and poignant reflection, bringing YOUNG to a quietly powerful finish.
