Story Behind The Song
The story behind this song is the same story that has happened to many relationships. An argument goes too far, things are said in the heat of the moment, words hurt, one storms out to go to a place where they can think. Sometimes it's the wrong place. Then there is where does morning find you you? In your bed as the songs says or in the arms of another making matters worse. It's just a Situation.......
Song Description
Situations is the first release from the new Independent Project coming from Michael Egleton
and Michael Egleton Music, In The Q, produced by Michael Egleton, Wes McCraw, Creekside
Audio, Norton, Ohio and Samuel Haygood, N-DA-Groove Productions, Atlanta, GA. This
particular song was produced by Michael Egleton and mastered through the magic of the LANDR
Music Artificial Intelligence Mastering Platform. Strings, acoustic bass and acoustic guitar
carry the melody of this song while finger snaps carry the heartbeat with the extras that give the
musical emotions a vehicle to travel in. Then there is the emotional voice of the singer, Michael
Egleton, pleading the case for his Situation. Sounds of the emotional singer, David Ruffen
or the late great, Isacc Hayes come to mind. Simplicity, emotions and precise arranging are what
makes this song stand out.
Situations is a song of what can happen when a simple conversation can go side ways quickly
and get out of control. Things are said that are not really meant. Words one may wish they could
take back. Feelings are hurt. Hearts are destroyed.
Love on the rocks, drenched in nostalgia, Michael Egleton's Situations hearkens back to
soul's golden age with flair. This track traipses the edge of consciousness in a haze of anguish.
Michael Egleton sings with the raw emotion of classic soul crooners telling his tale of woe over
an elegantly sparse arrangement. Jumped in my car, went to the bar... The gloom is cold welcome. Warmth is a shot glass. Gin's no tonic for what
ails you. Thoughts war within threatening to escape to reality, transform into actions. Her
eyes come back into view and you stand dropping change on the bar before returning home.
It's just a situation. This song harnesses a lot of classic soul influences. Old and
new converge. The spoken word segment feels like a Boyz II Men hat tilt, though they weren't
alone in such tendencies.
