SONG REVIEW TIME TO TALK
TIME TO TALK
Today we are going to talk about one of our favorite songs, Time to talk, by the singer David Owen, born in Newcastle, but currently living in Sabadell with his family. A curiosity of this singer is that he always dresses in black and also speaks Catalan very well and without an English accent.
Time to talk is the first song of the album “Confined but not resigned”, which in total contains 20 songs. This song is the introduction of the album, which means that it has to catch the listener’s attention. He achieves it fully, simply captivating with his voice, starting softly and increasing the intensity little by little. It is not a catchy song, but if you like to listen to other registers and different accents than the ones we are used to, you will enjoy listening to him.
If we focus on the lyrics, it talks about the importance of talking about things, rediscovering ourselves, and focusing on the little things like nature or family. Specifically, this one talks about the problems that sometimes appear when we are in love and involved in a relationship.
As for the instrumental variety, the singer only uses his voice accompanied by a guitar, which gives it a little bit more rhythm and improves the expressivity of the song. David Owen decides not to use too many special effects, his voice stands out and the guitar is simply to give it a more homemade touch.
Undoubtedly it is a relaxing song, different but a great discovery of a great artist, who also works as a professor of English at the University of Barcelona.
