Today! Today is a good day. “Why?” you may ask. Well because I have another wonderful song for you all.
Today's song is by one of the best songwriters of today, and I would argue of all time. Chad Stokes, formerly of Dispatch, now the driving force behind State Radio, is a lyrical genius and a very good guitar player to boot. All of his songs have incredible weight behind them both in meaning and sheer musicality.
“Mr. Larkin” is no exception. Written from the perspective of a man pleading to his boss, this song tells a story of love and devotion made difficult in a harsh world. Chad's lyricism shines throughout this song, leaving no doubt in your mind as to the man's love for his wife as well as making his situation clear to all who listen. What truly gives this song so much feeling though is the truth behind it. Written about a friend of Chad's, this song is an incredible example of the his ability to turn the world around him into music.
Listen, and enjoy.
