You're Not Like Anybody Else - Escondido
from the album Warning Bells (2018)
Over the past few months, I have challenged myself to write a new song each week. I have written sixteen songs to dat.
The tend to fall into four categories: rock songs, groovin' songs, jangly songs, and pretty songs. I find that, of the four, pretty songs are the most difficult. The demand to be well-written, with an elegance and a simplicity in the arrangement and the melody line. The lyrics are a challenge as well; trying to be sweet yet not flowery, tender yet tough.
These are the most honest of songs.
When I listen to You're Not Like Anybody Else by Escondido, I think "now that is a pretty song I wish I wrote." The acoustic guitar with the little electric poppings layered behind it create the perfect vibe. The beauty in the vocals and their melody. A love song that never uses the word "love."
As simple as this song may sound, writing such a song is artistry and craft that are uncommon.
