Alex G, acclaimed American singer -songwriter, has published his tenth album, ‘Headlights’, the first in a multinational. The first single, ‘Afterlife’, conquered the writing, and the second, ‘June Guitar’, has turned out to be the opening cut. ‘Headlights’ is the album of the week in Jenesaispop and ‘June Guitar’ is chosen today as a song of the day.
‘June Guitar’ is another of those melodically immediate compositions of Alex G, like the brilliant ‘Southern Sky’. Unlike ‘afterlife’, ‘June Guitar’ presents a soft and meek sound, explored through a rich tapestry of acoustic, electric, piano and percussions guitars. The distinctive element, this time, is the presence of an accordion with which Alex G is marked a nice alone.
In a job that talks about vital changes as important as fatherhood, ‘June Guitar’ opens by raising a scenario of suffering but also to search for emotional support. To tell this story, Alex uses the metaphor of a “rope” that is “balanced” and is about to “tear.” Therefore, Alex expresses the desire for the loved person to accompany him in his suffering: “I want you to be down there, balance with me,” the artist sings.
