Don’t shy away from emotion, Gary Dranow says with his music. This prolific musician has been releasing a new song almost every week, and each one is a bona fide gem. With his latest number, he pens an ode to a powerful guiding figure in everyone’s lives. This one is called Dad.
It is like a ballad, written for the one who raised you. If all the feelings about your father are valid, Gary Dranow has taken the essential ones to forge this song. It is important to notice how he has kept all the relevant positive elements that all people might resonate with. I am reminded of my father, as well, as I listen to this joyous opus. The moving melodies are like the decades of guidance that change as it is necessary. Harmonies swell in emotional tides, writing on the sands of time that can echo the sentiment. As usual, Gary Dranow pays homage to the protective armour that a father is to many, while highlighting the complexities. It is really a track of many layers, just like the several personalities fathers have to have.
Gary Dranow is going to be explosive in his album, Never Give Up, due to release this year. The number of songs might even lead to a double or triple album. This composition would be ideal in Captain Fantastic (2016), where the father is the guiding beacon to the family. Listen to Gary’s single above, and follow him for more music if you haven’t!
