Josh T Pearson
“Rarely has something so physically fragile sounded so mighty in its emotional resonance” (source here).
Remember that classic Comet Gain lyric “broken, beaten, and bruised, but still believing”? I think, ultimately, what separates the people I like from the people that I can easily pass on is believing. It’s the optimistic opposite of bitterness. It’s the romantic realization that in spite of whatever, things can still get better. A bleak past will never dictate a bleak future. With Josh T Pearson, while that’s rarely conveyed in the words, it’s sold mightily in the music. Redemption, salvation, overcoming. And if you don’t believe in that, then I feel very very sorry for you, because I do, and it changes everything.
