'Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight' By Amos Lee

Hello out there, its been a while!! I'm no longer in the 'jumpin' mood so my playlist is going back to chilled and mellow. Amos Lee was recommended by my friend a couple of years back but only in the past month have i really sat down to give his work a chance and the result.....aMayzing!!! Seriously amazing. It makes me really angry that great music just kinda gets lost behind most of the garbage that gets into the charts these days. It's like you are constantly robbed of it unless you have a friend with great taste in music who is good at discovering what else if out there. I know he's successful and has notoriety but i still think he's really underrated.
The song 'Keep it Loose, Keep it tight' is pretty much self explanatory. It's about how people can lose sight of who they are and how money changes everyone for better or worse and how ultimately we are all the same. I guess its about his new found fame and money and how all this could change him and his relationships and the line "Keep it Loose, Keep it Tight" is a statement remind himself/us to just chill and don't get caught up!
Don't let me even get started on that voice. Saw a bunch of you tube videos of him in concert and FYI, he's sooooo much better live. How is that even possible?
Love it!! You know the drill. Press Play.
