Songs We Wish We’d Written – Lover Pt. 2
Lover pt. 2 by derek webb - My favorite album by my favorite artist is probably derek webb's I See Things Upside Down and this is my favorite song from that album. Musically, I love the atmospheric intro, especially in this video with the use of the pedal steel, and the pickup into the first verse. Can't go wrong with Cason Cooley on the keys and the multiple extended jams within the song are just great. Lyrically, derek paints great pictures that are so vivid. Vocally, he keeps it pretty simple and just lets the music drive, which is the perfect call, even though there are places where he obviously could have pushed harder.
It's hard to go wrong with derek webb, but for his solo work, this is one of the songs that I most would want to emulate.
BTW: if you've bought the new Caedmon's album for download, let me know. I'm not sure I'm willing to spend $10 on it.
