Straight to his pared-down point, Sam Duckworth states boldly “It doesn’t matter that this song is a simple tune, even though it’s not what I’m supposed to do.”
Straight to his pared-down point, Sam Duckworth states boldly “It doesn’t matter that this song is a simple tune, even though it’s not what I’m supposed to do.”
That statement, however unflinchingly made, will only resonate with fans. For the non-devoted, it’s a case of folk-disguised emotional rocker, who, on his third single release, is this time not wrapping his recognisable acoustic melodies in enough laptop-beats to wrest it from accusations of hum-drum and tired; just listen to the languid lyric “I spy with my little eye.”
Add the fact that since singer-songwriters are solitary types with only themselves really to rely on for success, they do care that their lyrics touch that kid who’s just screamed “I hate you, world.” For God’s sake, these are the sorts of people to whom this music appeals. The weakest of 'The Chronicals of a Bohemian Teenager’s singles, it’s pretty pedestrian stuff.
