A Heart Calling From Simple Sounds
Starting with a driven and steady piano, Hard-Fi brings down their strong rock to a mellow serenade surprisingly well. I found this band’s album in a clearance sale, 25 cents per CD, and I thought this one looked cool, I got it and was crazy lucky. This song does have a great dreamy or thoughtful sound which includes a few different instruments. There is a piano, a synth pad, a trumpet and light drums. I think that is what makes this song so good. Sometimes we forget that less can be more. The piano part is simple and constant, but it does the job right. The synth in the background strings the song together phasing from part to part, as a subtle transition in places. Then during the final bridge and solo, a smooth trumpet and jazz driven drum really brings in a fantastic sound which really takes the song full circle, adding that depth that the song uses to really hit hard. I normally hate the word ‘baby’ in any context other than to actual babies, but our singer here uses that and the other rhyming words excellently to make this song swim from the headphones to the ears. We can hear a lot of heartfelt emotion in this song which can be hard to actually find, but I like to think that this song is from the heart. A fantastic simple piece that shows the beauty of music comes from the heart than just technical finesse.
