Music

A warm mid-tempo romp with shades of mono synth and a sparse, well-poised melodic narrative.

It is a motivated sound that is precise, deliberate, and profoundly human, with a message of realism and personal growth.

Its a lead vocal with a big natural vibrato and a cynical smirk. Lyrically it strikes a tone of urban alarmism, a message of getting woke for the esoteric among us.

Its a beautiful brew of Americana and Folk with a strong Pop sensibility, some swampy twang-guitar, and a river-rock-smooth falsetto.

Its a message about what happens when we are left alone for too long, and the tangled webs we weave around ourselves.

With a mid-tempo acoustic fingerpicking pattern and some gorgeous harmonies, Corey Kilgannon immediately strikes a poised simplicity reminiscent of the late George Harrison.

With the deep groove here, the belly moan vocals, and the gurgling synth-bass, this is a modern sound that reflects some of the best of what we call roots.

The final takeaway is a dark poem to the one that got away, one that is equal parts self-humiliation, catharsis, and defeatism.
