The straight youtube vid just dropped! Even though Im more of a Dallas fan and this has Pink in the lead vocally I still love it. The song is about Pinks Mom so its fitting that she shifts this one towards her. I absolutely love how Dallas lower register comes in just underneath Pinks vocal on the verses. Hes like a beautiful shadow underneath each line. Its a different angle on the harmonies that from what I can tell on both tracks are perfectly interwoven. Dallas has a smoother silky crystal pure vocal and Pinks vocals are raspy and grittier. Its actually odd as youd expect the roles to be reversed with the male having the rougher, coarser part. Really, for something as pure as folk and in an age where nothing sounds fresh this really stands out as being different. You take an artist who normally has others collaborate more on the writing process and a writer who normally doesnt like any other influences on his writing and you put them together they both really create a miracle by working together so easily. The extrovert and the introvert. Mutual respect and admiration. The harmonies dont only exist in the music. The production isnt shy but the core of the music is simple, pure and understated. Everyone always fears a clash between pop and real music but this proves that the results can send shivers down your spine and create a real unmatched experience! Im so glad the fates brought these two enigmatic forces together!
