Cornelius Eady Trio-Withstand
Cornelius Eady Trio can write songs-as stories and melodies. Spearheaded by Cornelius Eady, an author and musician-you are sure to encounter some experiences like no other band. Your ears hear the lyrics as a woven tale-spun beautifully by this talented wordsmith. The arrangement feels like glitter on a gift in the end, a composition that is well-rounded. This is the trio’s latest single, Withstand. There is depth in the questions that the protagonist asks. For a moment indulge with me, the powerful imagery and disposition of lyrics like this- The weathers trying to change Your clothes, A stale wind covers the land Thunder rolls like an exit poll Like some mad judge’s hand. The weather never tried to change, we changed it. Yet this poetry affects you so. Coming to the melody, you’ll feel the warm ease of the acoustic fingerpicking. You might assume it to be a James Taylor song in the way it has been executed. The focus remains on the lyrics and vocals as the piano slides in, counteracting with some levity to the heavier lyrics. It is a message to ponder, to wonder and deliberate about. Cornelius Eady Trio recognise the depth of the words and strip back for something transcendental and important. Their 2021 album Don’t Get Dead is worth exploring in its entirety for the narrative alone. The tie between the lyrics and music is immense, each feeding off the other. This would be an incredible song on The Meyerowitz Stories (2017). Listen to Cornelius Eady Trio with their song and follow them here for some more brilliant verses and merry melody making.
