super rad title for a label. and the idea of Rick publishing artists is inspiring, knowing how tasteful is his ear to original musical language. sadly, i don’t think we’ll see it coming to reality - ‘cause of his schedule around the educational content and interviewing people as well as judging from what he has mentioned during Justin Hawkins’ interview with him - that he was exhausted from recording sessions with vocalists. makes me a bit depressed each time i realize this. the world would probably have noticeably more high quality music out there if the circumstances played out for him to continue producing and releasing stuff

@kenboyer2051

2 жыл бұрын

So, here's the thing. The artist tries to be and say too much in most of these songs. "Drunk Lover" starts off as a Led Zeppelin blues tune, then moves to an AIC grunge riff, then to a more pop-oriented chorus. It reminds me of The Toadies' "Possum Kingdom", but much less dark. Target market: super rich teen boys vacationing on Martha's Vineyard, chasing super rich teen girls, while listening to rock with just enough of an edge to make them feel like rebels before it's off to Harvard and a career in commodity futures. But, yet, it's really well done music. Maybe just too well done, like the novelist who can't finish writing the book. And, I feel like a jerk writing this critique, since it's not like I've recorded and put my stuff out there. If I ever do, I'll give Owen the first shots at it.

A clear and prime example of how The Beatles lives on in modern music.

Jimmy Webb, in his book on songwriting, has coined the phrase "The Violation of Expectations", a feature which more often than not separates most great songs from the rest. Beatles had this in spades of course. I hear it a lot in Billy Joel's writing where the next chord in a progression is not merely one that the brain doesn't anticipate, but is possibly THE best choice of all valid alternatives. Genius. In this song, the D flat works wonderfully!

You are right Rick, this should have been massive. Great chords, progressions and production.

The only song I wrote, played, edited, mixed and recorded had two people who heard it. My and my mom. I burned it on a CD and played it while taking her to a doctor appointment in the car but didn't tell her it was me. I said "...check this out, I just found this on Spotify. See what you think..." and played it. At the end she kind of wrinkled her nose, shook her head and said 'no, not for me'..." and it's never been played again. Because if I told her it was mine, she would have gushed over it and said it was the best thing she ever heard and she's so proud of me...just like a mom should! lol

The chord progression is absolutely fresh and amazing, and the bass and drums are really good. I can't help but wonder if people were starting to get tired of this specific guitar sound by 2003. The guitars have very similar tone to the ones in Sheryl Crow's "If It Makes You Happy" and Vertical Horizon's "Everything You Want". It was an interesting sound in mid to late 90's, yet I think people just got a bit tired of it by the time the year 2003 rolled around. I feel like if someone re-recorded this song today with a different arrangement, it could totally be a hit. There's a song where this guitar tone absolutely works like magic, and it's Catherine Wheel's "Broken Nose" (which coincidentally went nowhere commercially, too), and maybe it'd would work here in an arrangement that had just a little bit more drive in it. Since the song is definitely somewhat unusual (in a very good way), It's almost needing a bit eclectic/quirky arrangement such as the Decemberists' "Engine Driver", which came out in 2005.

Yes. And thats a good thing! And there is for me hint of Jonathan Larsen Rent and Duncan Sheik Spring Awakening Broadway of the more original contemporary music driven ilk. I hope he is doing well and still making music!

Clicked on this thinking , “yeah well, I’ll be the judge of THAT.” And damn if that isn’t a great song: beautifully sung, played, arranged, produced and, of course, written. Art will break your heart, baby.

Heart broken on this song, just Kickin! too Good!

Sent this to all my musician friends. We all played the clubs for years. So tough to “make it”. What a killer song, and production. I bought the ep

I love the way this song drives it's way into your head with a beautiful semblance of twists and turns never heard of nowadays. Pumping and with an insistent set of hooks. Fantastic.

"Just put your finger in a different spot!" Probably one of the most important things you've ever said, Rick. 👍🏻

This does sound great Rick, I can see how this made bands want to work with you. Well done man

Beautiful, original song with lovely production. A work of art. You cheer me up no end.

It has been a long time since I had goosebumps hearing a new song. WOW! Thank you for sharing.

That's an awesome song. Love it.

This really is an interesting song, the real talent here is how pop it is with all those great chords. Love the breakdown, Rick!

Wow, great tune. Those compelling chord changes made it feel fresh from start to finish

I love that you are bringing up these artists. People I’ve never heard of but should have. Thank you!!

I always walk into these videos going “Bullshit Rick! This title is total clickbait, it’s totally going to suck.” Then when it’s over “Damn it! Rick was right again.”

I hear these modern songs and the issue I have is they never let silence in to let them breathe and build the power of the lyrics up.

That's a good point, though I wasn't thinking it about this one. It might have been the only way to improve on it though.

Spotify randomly recommended this song to me last week and I was floored that the artist is this unknown. Such a fantastic recording!

Wow! Sweet sounds, gonna be stuck on repeat for awhile 👍👍

Dude, when it comes to that fine 90s sound that ebbs on the heart of youthful despair that Nirvana, Radiohead and many unknown encompassed for a brief time...you got it and I absolutely love it. You should release a compilation, man! Please!!! Your tunes - the world needs it. Yeah, the acoustic guitar has it. I transform into my pubescent self with those tunes, man. Seriously. You put me on the brink of tears.

While I have never been much of a fan of the morality of a lot of songs (in several genres, including and especially opera), I LOVED the return of the "guitar attitude" of the 1990s, after listening to all of that darn synthesizer stuff of the 80s! Then in the early 2000s, country (Montgomery Gentry, Big & Rich, et al.) also joined in the guitar attitude. I really respected the Nirvanas and others for helping the world to rock once again! And this song that Rick brought out is WONDERFUL in its production and delivery. I am a child of the1960s and 1970s, but I can appreciate good music from any era.

Rick I glad I’m not the only one that gets dramatically excited hearing special odd chord progressions! Keep s me smiling thru-out the song. Great song! ✌️

Massive, indeed!...This would've been a great TV show theme song, too. You don't hear many rock songs with fantastic acoustic strumming. Brilliant, Owen!

Nice chord progressions, especially the D diminished going to D. I was surprised to hear (in other videos) that augmented and diminished chords are not used much in the past 20 years(if I remember correctly). I think these are very important in music

There’s some Matthew Sweet in there. This is a really good song.

Me too. The beginning sounds like thousands of other songs. And then comes the surprise.

This song is brilliant! I can’t stop playing it over and over. Gets better with every play. Thank you Rick for bringing this to our attention!

Reminds me of Duncan Sheik, Dashboard Confessional, Lifehouse... early 2000s amazing music. This song should be HUGE

The D fully diminished to D is something Jobim did in “Chega de Saudade”. Cool to see it being used in this musical context.
