Most recently, I’ve been enjoying the musical talents of P.T. Walkley. I wasn’t hooked at first but lyrically I can’t get enough of his tunes right now. Listen here: P.T. Walkley’s Music.
The song “Why” is simple but euphonious, pulling me in and causing me to hit repeat a few times – a sure sign that my ears have hit the melodic jackpot. Oh, I won’t forget to mention that Sean Lennon, offspring of an acclaimed and completely original Beatle, plays with Walkley on several tracks of the album including “Why.”
The little ditty I’m addicted to includes the following lines:
“There seems to be a break between
the things we say and things we do
But if you dream of you and me the way I do
Gonna see this one through.”
For the rest of his album, Mr. Macy Walks Alone, it’s a folksy, indie-infused production with strong storytelling themes and just a tinge of old country. Very un-manufactured. Intimate yet whimsical.
“Intimate yet whimsical” would be a great thing to have written on an epitaph. Whoa, slightly morbid – sorry. You have to admit, though, that it would be nice to be remembered that way…
