I thought about how much I wanted to not feel as dirty as I did, and I thought about how disappointed the people I wanted to love would be. My head hurt too much to move, so I skipped my Econ class to lay with my thoughts and a bottle of pedialyte. It lives in the morning, waking up after my first big party-weekend at a new school. "The song takes place right before ‘doing music’ was on my mind. [Note: I am writing the handgun bio at 1:50am after a party and a week of acting so impulsively that I do not want to check my bank account or the liquor cabinet or my text messages. Read what Jake shares about this track (and other things): AND the storytelling here is what this song is all about, brilliant in it's poetry and combination of youthful pain / angst / uncertainty. I bring this up because after my slight disdain the pure storytelling started seeping past the cracks in my armor. The guitar shapes might (for this kind of song) feel done before, a bit derivative although I admit totally that this criticism could be me being grumpy or stressed this morning. Maybe because (at first listen) it felt like that kind of manipulative song that an American Idol would perform "my original song" and it would make Katy Perry make a pouty face and cry. A place where you lean forward to hear the story, the one Jake is expressing and the dozen's of stories from your own youth.Īll this being said, I didn't like "handgun" after the first listen. Like a crystal bauble swinging back and forth, the song puts you in a zone. For me, this 'happening' (for me anyway) is because the ambient sounds (drones of sound), percussion, the use of the most subtle texturing and Jake's use of self-harmonies are all perfect and sort of hypnotic. The song is exquisitely stark and one of those kinds of songs that as it ebbs and flows, builds and deconstructs, you might hear things in your head like sparse piano, faint other guitars, and orchestrations that may or may not exist. Performance Team & S.This morning I had the pleasure of listening to "handgun" by the very talented, complex, artful Jake Minch.
