Kevin Morby - "A Random Act of Kindness," from the 2022 album This is a Photograph on Dead Oceans
\\nWith today\'s Song of the Day, Kevin Morby aims to explore the duality of language on this impassioned piece of Americana. He explains in a press release:
\\nIn \\u2018A Random Act Of Kindness\\u2019 I set out to write a song where each line could be interpreted in two completely different ways. For example; when I sing the words \\u2019out of trust\\u2026\\u2019 it could be heard as either I have lost my sense of trust in something or that I am committing an act with trust as my motive. It\\u2019s a song about the menacing nature of the sun rising during a dark time in one\\u2019s life only to further illuminate their pain and suffering \\u2013 and how during these periods it is often the selfless acts of strangers that keeps a person going.
\\nSonically I am so proud and surprised by where we ended up with this one. Producer Sam Cohen and I had set out to make a sort of windows-down-mid-tempo-cruiser and somehow, with weeks of exploration, made a sonic rocket ship that shoots you out into outer space over the course of 4 minutes. Enjoy!
\\nMorby returns to Seattle on November 11th, playing The Showbox.
