โCallingโ by the San Diego-based indie project Please Ask for Paul opens like a luminous whisper. It showcases glimmering guitar tunes and propulsive drumming.
If you are a writer like me, you will find yourself realizing the transcendent effect of the song โCalling.โ You may put it in perspective and feel the singer burdened with the lagging force of a dearth of motivation. Then, you may feel the motivation calling her towards its lush embrace. Speaking of a lush embrace, the guitar melodies engulf and echo in your ears. There is a strong link between the guitar work and the drums. The drums add a tense cut-through to ground the energy.
The singerโs vocals are the siren-like force that compels you to entrance yourself in its ghostly quality. By the time the chorus hits, you are fully immersed in the hypnotic energy of the music. The music sonically demonstrates the magnetic dwelling force of a writerโs or an artistโs block. It brings down your self-esteem and makes you feel worse for feeling this way and being unable to work. This feeling intensifies when you are an adult undergoing this down-spiralling route.
โCallingโ reminds you of your darkest moments, just to call you out of it. So listen to โCallingโ by Please Ask for Paul and move forward with your ambitions.
