LY@TT have released “Song for Pete Ham,” and it’s one of those songs that will live in your head for a long time after it has concluded. It’s a homage to a musician whose songs touched so many of those who followed. The care and respect can be heard throughout. All parts are genuine, and none try to be more than they need to.
The song starts off with a guitar that opens on a low rumble. It sounds welcoming from the beginning and has a warm sound. The melody comes first; Rick Skinner doesn’t seek to be prominent. His playing is emotional, and he plays every note in its proper place. The song gets a bass kick from DC Williams. The bass continues to play throughout the remainder of the music and also contributes little touches that add interest. It’s not just in the background. It seems to bond with everything else; it’s like it’s quietly talking to the other instruments.
Paul R Johnson and Williams harmonize the vocals simply and seamlessly. They sing harmoniously together. The chorus is nice and warm when it enters. It’s sincere and full of feeling. Backing vocals are provided by Kleidi Buroz. They arrive at the right time and bring a bit of extra warmth to the music. They may not be immediately apparent, but they may be one of those little things that makes you want to listen again.
Ed Booth’s drumming holds it down from start to finish. There is no rush or force. The tempo of the song is slow and allows it time to unfold. The multi-layered vocals linger for a moment after the song has ended, as if the conversation continued afterward. “Song for Pete Ham” is a reflective and heartfelt song. Listen to the care LY@TT put into making it. I like this song the most because of that honesty, and I will keep returning to it numerous times.
