The Boy Blue delivers a stirring, heartfelt blues rock tribute, ‘I’m Your Son’.

They say grief is the last act of love we can give to the ones we’ve loved. Where there is deep grief, there is always a deeper love. The artist known as The Boy Blue lost his beloved father at the young age of 15. Now, in the midst of adulthood, blessed with his own little family, he reflects back in solemn, blues-tinged humbleness and gratitude on his relationship with his father.

For anyone who’s ever had to deal with the death of a loved one, especially that of a parent, will resonate deeply with ‘I’m Your Son’. The track opens with deeply soulful violin and grounding strums. It immediately evokes feelings of sadness & remembrance.

Sincere, pained vocals sings the opening lines, “A memory of you that I can’t forget, the things you did or the things you said, knowing I can’t see your face, hoping you’re in a better place”

Emotions run high through this next section with the vocals rising in pitch and intensity –

“it pains me to say, because I loved you so……..The man today that I’ve become, It’s all because I’m your son…” That last line, sung with softness and conviction, hit deep and true.

The track captivates with Chris Cornell-esque piercingly emotional vocals and beautiful Americana and folk/blues rock arrangements, flowing at a tender, intentional tempo. There’s a deeply honest, personal and cinematic vibe to this, one that compellingly tugs at the heartstrings all throughout.

This is the perfect dedication to all those we’ve loved and lost in our lives. A heartfelt reminder that they will always live on in our hearts and souls.
