Skip Bravery shares precious life lessons amidst stirring blues in ‘Life is Short’!
Off their latest full-length album, ‘Paisley-Faced People & Mechanical Eleves,’ ‘Life is Short’ evokes nostalgia and reflection in droves. Skip Bravery delivers a stirring blues-tinged soundscape flush with soft, sincere, evocative vocals that echo lived experiences.
We open on a flourish of hi-hats and soft bass notes, smoothly transitioning to the opening verse. The lyrics are honest and conversational, sung with sincere heart and soul. The chorus expands into a sweeping blues arrangement with Ozzy-esque vocals singing strongly, ‘Life is too long when you’re lost in the pain, as you’re reminded time and time again. Life is too short, when its all said and done….’
There’s a lot to like about Skip Bravery’s expressive songwriting style. There’s something sweet & simple in the way they share wisdom. There’s no aggrandizing, dramatizing or preaching here, just honest, good-hearted music that is meant for those who ask the deep, philosophical questions. Under 4 minutes, the track flows at a relaxed, steady tempo. Moving from soft, evocative verses to strong, crescendo-ing choruses that invite you to sing along wholeheartedly.
Listeners of rock ballad groups such as The Eagles & Scorpions will strongly resonate with Skip Bravery’s sound. ‘Life is short’ reminds us of the sublime power of this genre to reach into our deepest aches and soothe them with the power of good ol blues rock!
An ideal track for your road trip playlists or moments of deep reflection. We love what we’ve felt from Skip Bravery’s evocative rock sound and look forward to hearing more from their latest EP, ‘Paisley-Faced People & Mechanical Eleves’.
