Girl at the Rock Shows

I was doing so good today as far as getting things done and not getting distracted but now I feel like I’ve hit a wall. I’m a bit all over the place. Panic and anxiety are setting in not only because of the election but also because of a huge show I am covering tonight. My eyelids are heavy as bricks and I can’t seem to stop yawning. I’m not sure what snapped but I know that I’m over it and need to wake back up and get back to getting lots done. Plainly put– it’s time to take a break and check out another new song.

Although I didn’t think I was in the mood for fairly slow and steady, the way that “Ghosts of ’93” from Toby McAllister hit me was just what I needed. After a wailing yet controlled guitar lick, Toby’s voice came in and took me over like that warm and cozy blanket that I long for on days like today where it’s chilly and rainy outside. This song is heartbreakingly beautiful as it is a song about love, loss and nostalgia written after Toby’s own father passed. Although you can absolutely heart that emotion, you also get this sense of resilience and this feeling of being proud of everything you’ve gone through. I was hooked within the first first seconds of this song and, clearly, it hit me like a truck but something was bugging me about this track. Toby’s voice just felt too familiar, to comforting in a way where I felt like I knew it. I was right. Toby is actually a founding member and guitarist for Sparks The Rescue. Whether or not that means anything to you, I promise you that “Ghosts of ’93” is more than worth a listen.
