What is it that makes a song great?
Lyrics?
Melody?
Quite frankly, I don’t know.
In order to help answer this question, I’ll paraphrase the late Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart (when asked to decide what constitutes pornography):
“I can’t define what it is, but I know it when I see it.”
Or… “hear it.”
It’s funny how “today’s” music always sucks, and music from the past is sooo much better.
Don’t get me wrong, plenty of today’s music is ship…
And there’s plenty of good music from the past.
But that’s how it always is.
We forget the crap songs and remember the good.
Even then, the mainstream music market can only handle and market so many songs at a time…
So great songs from smaller labels and independent artists tend to slip through the cracks.
And I guess that’s where youtube and soundcloud help close the gap.
Because I somehow find these songs, mostly thanks to youtubes algorithm, and they’re incredible.
But unless you’re a person like me who spends way too much time on youtube listening to music…
You’ll probably never hear these songs.
But trust me, they’re really good.
Like today’s song, “Looks” by Steve Lacy.
This short little song is the first track of his demo album.
What’s most interesting about this album is that he recorded his bass, guitar, and singing through his iphone.
And here’s your priority-access, first look, before the rest of the internet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsSq-PobBMk
Please feel free to like, comment, and throw virtual tomatoes.
Cheers,
