Okay I've just been listening to more of Keaton Hensons music and I don't think I've ever heard someone so heartbroken and actually destroyed as him. His lyrics are gorgeous the website is wonderful and the fact he doesn't like to perform and keeps himself to himself is wonderful. Perhaps a bit of a Nick Drake emerging here? Such heartfelt emotional lyrics from someone so young are quite upsetting to hear. He is obviously an extrememly emotional person who can convey this in a magical way to everyone. It doesn't even sound like he is moaning and pining after her, especially not in Party Song which adds a dark disturbing twist to the otherwise beautiful love songs.
I like how on his website it says
"Dear Unknown,
I hope you listen as though it were all for you
I hope she knows it was.
I hope you can forget that I do both
It meant more before.
The Author."
That is literally what songs are to me; gateways that go both ways. The writer releases their feelings on the world and the receiver interprets the lyrics in a way that helps them. Anyway I hope very much to see this young man live at some point he is extremely talented and enjoyable to listen to.
