That’s an unimaginable tune. It’s good folks music, with every thing that makes it what folks ought to be. A Cajun / Irish diatonic accordion far within the again, a powerful Celtic dancing rhythm, and greater than every thing, an actual crunchy voice that doesn’t worry expressing the soul which means of what it wants to precise.
And what does it want to precise? That’s the trick. The tune just isn’t a humorous one. It’s unhappy. Unhappy, however with no compromission with fluffy emotions. It talks a few pal who took his life operating “out of sins”, and it’s made in a means that you realize there’s something private within the tune, with sturdy emotion however sufficient rock ‘n’ roll perspective to make it an exquisite piece of poetry. Geoff (the pal) is dancing tonight, and is now a ghost haunting the singer’s nights.

The “magical” message, no matter it’s. The core purpose why we take heed to music.
