Full of insightful lyrics, mesmerising melody, rhythmic guitar jams and driving Donovan-drums, every song on this brilliant album stands alone and as a whole is rock solid – a billet-doux to life, love and music.
The Last Dance is a romping chant about the circle of life, You Are My Everything begins with a powerful guitar riff and the line “I share my bed with your cold-ass feet” then just gets better from there and Hey! Let It Be, which brings to light the personal inward struggle of right and wrong, will not only have you pounding some air-skins, but will have you dancing no matter where you are, so beware!
Melodic life lessons are woven throughout, as evidenced by We See Through It, a plea for people to stop buying into everything the world is selling. We Have Arrived reminds us that our only destination is the moment we’re in and Ahh Can You Feel It? is the musical depiction of what it’s like to finally realize your true life’s purpose, all wrapped up in beautiful voices, infectious rhythms and interesting transitions.
As in life, love is the foundation of this record – You In My Arms is a touching love-letter to Jim’s daughter Tupelo as she leaves home for college. Also in a Long Lost Friend and Love Is Right, both written for Jim’s wife Tracey about that moment you first meet someone, but it feels like you’ve known them forever and how right love is when you find your perfect person. The angelic voices of Jim’s daughters Tupelo and Ella lend a wistful feel to these poignant tracks.
The thunderous drum track, Elephants In The Room embodies the echo of the past and nod to the band’s luminous future. Are the rumors of a Sun King Warriors all-percussion EP in the future true? We sure hope so!
