I generally gravitate to the music first before the lyrics. But as a writer, I still marvel at well-spun verses and choruses. This month, I’m joining the music Twitter community in #31DaySongLyricChallenge

Day 27

The clean guitar picking, McComb’s hush-hush falsetto and Americana roots swirling around on “Brighter!” remind me of late night star gazing. The simplest of songs are often the best ones we have. I just love the stark, ethereal quality to “Brighter!”. There’s a lightness and buoyancy to the music and lyrics that seem to transcend time and space. “Brighter!” The lyrics seem more like a stream of consciousness than a coherent narrative – and that’s the charm of it.

“I stopped in for a little while and threw in the evidence. I wandered off a little while resequencing events.”
