Quiet Ballad from Dom Robinson

A friend from overseas passed along this Dom Robinson tune to me yesterday, and I was struck by the song immediately. There’s a breath-y quality to the vocals, like a singing whisper coming through. Musically, there’s a forcefulness to the instrumentation, although it will seem fairly minimal to the first few run throughs of the track. All that in mind, listen carefully as there are some emphatic moments, particularly in the song’s latter half that really bring forth the song’s earnest beauty. This is our first listen to what Dom has planned for 2017, so stay tuned if you’re looking for more from this striking songwriter.
