Daniel Ian Taylor I've had a couple of months to digest this little record, to let its songs drop into my music mix every now and then, as well as listen to the album closely on headphones from start to finish several times. I really liked it on first listen and the songs have only grown on me since then.
It's exactly what I always want a debut ep to be, which are 4 very different songs about 4 very different subjects that still manage to all sound like they were made by the same person.
"Plus" is probably my favourite if only because great love songs for a parent are strangely few and far between.
The environmental message of "Pale Blue Dot" is hardly subtle, but it's rendered so effectively and originally that it feels that the message's delivery should be anything but. And the violin line that caps off the narrative is simply gorgeous and cathartic.
The line "i miss you even when you're next to me" is so simple and perfect and universal that I can't believe I've never heard it before. That's the sign of a really great lyric.
The energy and bounce of "Two Fronts" belies the sense of self doubt that it explores to great effect. The guitar work is especially good on this one and has plenty of verve to it.
Altogether this is a great opening salvo from an artist whose deep love of music is self-evident and infectious. You should be very proud of this record and I can't wait to hear what comes next.

DT Favorite track: Plus.

Tell me how you carried the weight of such heavy hearts Didn’t picking up those shards tear your fingers apart Tell me about when you were young brash and dumb like me tell me what you wanted from life what you thought it would be CHORUS: I can feel your soul light up when when you look at us I could never understand just what that feeling was You could have asked for the world But what you wanted was much more simple Just to be ourselves and be loved and that’s what makes you a good man I know you’re afraid that you failed, so know you did not quietly you’re strong and brave whether you like it or not to come form the sea and master the sky to tread the earth and appreciate life never giving up on me, letting me breathe And I want you to know that every part of my soul that I got from you is beautiful to me we may know our share of pain But I’d never change a thing You are apart of me

Out here it’s cold and lonely I hear the sounds of home And I long for the day …how I long for a day I’ve seen things full of wonder the birth of stars in realms comprised of clouds that swirl in gold and red But that pale blue dot… It can’t be forgot Cause that Pale blue dot… I miss it a lot I know this is a privilege to be the first to’ve gone this far back in the story of ourselves but that pale blue dot It can’t be forgot Yes that pale blue dot It still means a lot Cause that pale blue dot... …it’s all that we’ve got And if you told me my house was on fire I wouldn’t just stand around I would run, with a bucket in hand To do what I can Why choose to tolerate a soul for a soul? Rather than accept? Why destroy, when instead, you could grow? We’re destroying our own home.

Next To Me 02:54
Oh mornings used to be a hated place for me looking out at the street wondering how I'm going to face another... Isn't it funny how the tide will only change while you're looking away and suddenly your feet are on the ground well, I thought I would tred for all my days without a hope of respite from the waves until I found myself okay Scent of coffee and a radiator burn I'm so glad that hate can be unlearned Sanctuary in a breath before the door I'd never ask for more than coming home to you my darling Cause everything we want is what we need and lately I can't help myself but sing Since I found you it seems my love that nothing now can phase me cause I know you've got my back and I've got yours, it seems so simple, but of course So many seem to think that love's a game of swim or sink and change means something wrong when we know change means we have grown So take my hand before we cross the street, I've never been swept off my feet I miss you even when you're next to me Oh, I miss you when you're next to me

Two Fronts 04:23
I know I’m not dumb but maybe I am Everything I think is no I can't When I know that I can but maybe I’m wrong I’m so damn afraid that I’m not really strong I wanna be good but it feels more like I make things worse than they were before I try to make it right but it all falls apart and there’s nothing I can do but blame myself Let’s try again this time for sure I’ll turn a new leaf I’ll find a cure For this uncertainty that rules my life Gimme one day with no internal strife I’ll hold my own you wait and see It’s not outside my capabilities To tell you you’re wrong and be on my own side So shut up, and give me a second to try CHORUS: You’re trying to control this but know these emotions don’t take direction very well You know that I’m broken did you think I was joking? When we argue I’m fighting a war on two fronts It’s hard for me to tell what I really feel VS. what’s just in my head, every thoughts got two right behind trying to pull it back down Push too soon and the truth will drown In doubt and shame that I don’t deserve Or maybe I do I can’t discern What I want, or can, or should believe... …Oh I give up Clarity is all I want Past mistakes have always haunted Me and fill me with self doubt You’re supposed to help me out Not make me feel worse or dumb or small You’re really no help at all So unless you learn to be patient and strong You’re the one who’s in the wrong!
