| Allman Brown feat. Liz Lawrence - Sons & Daughters |
Release Date: 2nd September 2013
First things first, as they
should be; this is a genuinely lovely song. The vocal harmonies that build in
gentle intensity between Brown and Lawrence are like the gathering heat of a
fire as the sun gives up the ghost on an early winter's eve. The warmth and
richness of texture that this song exudes has a charming quality that draws you
in to be enveloped by comfort, homeliness and familiarity. Hints of Damien Rice
and Mumford & Sons will put many off but once you get over your snobbery
you will realise that 'Sons and Daughters' is actually a thing of quiet beauty
that will surely be sound tracking a moment of heart wrenching grief and sorrow
followed by relief and redemption in, at the very least, a BBC drama very soon.
Last things last, as they always are; the lyrical content here is refreshingly
well thought out as Brown and Lawrence sing the words of an old couple,
intertwined with true and enduring love looking back down the years before, at
the very death of the song, reminding themselves that such remembrances are
still to come. Such is the strength of the love in this story, the couple
already know that their twilight years will be spent together, no matter what
trials and tribulations they face together. Heart warming stuff.
