Dawes - “A Little Bit of Everything”
Really, I normally think that I don’t go for cheesy ballads. But this song has a bit of a spark that hooks me in the chest. These guys were one of the great surprises last night in the folk fest. Dawes walks a perfect line in songwriting. I’m always worried that they’re going too far and might be offending my musical pretensions (without my being completely aware). This group has stolen in behind the lines on me. It’s an old style of storytelling almost unrecognizable compared with the other new music I listen to now.
“Oh it’s a little bit of everything.
It’s the mountains.
It’s the fog.
It’s the news at six o’clock.
It’s the death of my first dog.
It’s the angels up above me.
It’s the song that they don’t sing.
It’s a little bit of everything.-conrad
the guy also had a couple telecasters, which I’ve been lusting after for years… and he could tear it up.
