Beauty in Simplicity
As I have been reviewing for a little while, I have noticed how much I really appreciate a strong voice that has a lot of personality and uniqueness. Zack Joseph is the younger brother of Tyler Joseph, singer for Twenty One Pilots, and is even featured in a few of their older songs (Kitchen Sink is one of them, and it is one of my favorite songs ever). But Zack has his very own sense of voice and strength, he keeps his music in a soulful folk sound where the heart is key to beautiful music. He has great control and the southern tone that echos through his voice may be too strong for people at first, but it grows on you as you allow it. His singing is what carries the song, his emotion and the realness of that emotion is what drives this song from good to great. This song’s bass line bounces like most folk music, the drums are straightforward, guitar part is simple and piano parts are scattered throughout, but that is the magical beauty of this song. The song takes these unbelievably simple parts and creates a song that has the sound of old classics from years ago, something that speaks to the heart and ears instead of just the tapping foot. They are the perfect supports for Zack's voice. I also love the lyrics, a beautiful yearning for future love and what it will hold. I really have no more to say about this song, except it is just so good as you let it play and play again. It will grow in you and you’ll want more folk music in your life.

The song grows on you. The style is very different from his brother, from 21 Pilots, but I find both brothers to have strong passion and heartfelt lyrics in thier songs. Turns out I do want more folk music. -WD
