like the drums at the beginning, then the singing comes in to boost up the performance
The songwriter asks a lot of questions and the only answer he can come up with is...."God Only Knows." Sometimes the best answer for that which we cannot figure out. The song has a pleasant, positive, upbeat feel to it which engages the listener from the very start. Fun intro. Love these lyrics: How do you move a mind of stone? Where has the human kindness gone? There are some really original, fresh lyrics in this song. Nice instrumentation and vocals are pretty clear. Love the percussion/tambourine. Like the slave/church verse. Nicely produced.
I like the stripped back production which contrasts superbly with the complexity of the vocal arrangement. Great lead vocal. The backing vocals add a clever theatrical twist. Strong lyrics. There is a soulful quality to the song which puts me in mind of Amy Winehouse.
I like the sound of the drums and the rhythm guitar, the lead vocals are wonderful, sounds a little like Blondie.
The hooks are perfect. Great performance. And great sound. This song has a hit potential. Great singing, the tuning is well done. Also, the form of the song is really well conceived. The backing vocals are very important in the song and deserve a bit more care in the sound. I wish there was a little surprise somewhere.
Wowza.....infectious Beat, really memorable!! Slightly reminds me of Amy Winhouse.......super cool! Great articulation by the vocalist!! She sounds like the Real Deal..........terrific job!! Looking forward to hearing more of her songs!!! I am going to tell others about this musical find!!!! Thanks for posting this Jewel!!!
