This sounds like the most impractically fragile music allowable under the 'Fragility In Songwriting Accord' of 2001 with its winsome, whispery tones and delicate delivery, and yet there's also a certain rhythmic bite that nips at your elbows and pinches the skin just below your earlobes in a playful, innocuous manner.
Also, it sounds like an acoustic guitar being strummed with a syncopated beat and a warbly, nasal voice rising above it singing pleading lyrics. And that's the best I can do.
I'm Darin Givens, a singer/songwriter with several years of experience performing and recording in the Atlanta area. My songs have the simplicity of Beatles-era rock/folk sounds and reveal my retro musical tastes. I perform with acoustic guitar (mostly) and keyboards (occassionally). Songs about lost loves and religious wanderings are the easiest to sing for some reason, but I try to throw in something chipper every now and then to keep sane.
