Jóhannes Stefán-Hush My Darling
Songwriting at its highest form can be experienced listening to Jóhannes Stefán. The Icelandic musician trades us visuals from the place he has been inspired by. In this deep crevasses of the mind, he is joined in second harmonies by Guðrún Bjarnadóttir. The result is something that challenges the metaphysical, with the emotional. This single is called Hush My Darling. The worried mind is tangled. It often goes through a spiral of disarray, and comfort might be the only comforter. Jóhannes Stefán writes Hush My Darling as a guardian, almost being able to express the understanding of a mind at a distance. His melodies are gentle, balanced between a lullaby and reversing slowly into the spiritual gift of his music. Soft slide guitar elements aid his vocals, accenting in parts like a silver lining to a cloud. He writes with empathy and expression, even while considering that it is a conversation in other layers. The result is an inspiring number, something that you will cherish and feel connected to in many different facets. You can listen to his song above and be prepared for the kind of music he is going to create. This would be a perfect addition in the 1st season of Jersey Shore, the series. Jóhannes Stefán has just brought us into the fold of his music. You might as well cherish and take comfort in the resounding, clear music of his conscience. Hush My Darling is a perfect prologue into a style that is often used but not expressed to its entirety. Jóhannes will change this, one song at a time.
