Jacksonville, Florida-based Jeremy Marshall Blanton has just released the magnificent indie folk track, “Goodbye, Roses.”
“Goodbye, Roses” is founded around acoustic guitars that lend a warm sense of texture whilst establishing a slow-rocking groove. The acoustic guitar layers sparkle delightfully throughout, particularly during the light staccato playing in the musical break. The acoustic guitar beautifully contributes to the composition’s spirit and atmosphere.
Adding depth to the track are mellow organ tones that soothingly pad and warbling keys that further enhance the track’s melody. The bass pulses soothingly whilst the drums elegantly push the track forward. Another highlight is the electric lead guitar, which beautifully enhances the reflective vibes with a dreamy weeping solo and weaving licks towards the song’s conclusion.
Jeremy Marshall Blanton serves up a superb vocal performance on “Goodbye, Roses“ as he delivers the highly observant and poetic lyrics. Expressive and soulful, there is a genuine sense of authenticity behind the lyrics. Delightfully enhancing are the rich harmonising backing vocals that support the song throughout.
“Goodbye, Roses” by Jeremy Marshall Blanton is a track that unfolds rich textures and melodies with ease.
