Yesterday one of our favorite artists, Tad Wagner<\/strong><\/a>, relinquished a great new song and video from his forthcoming solo album, Free Enough<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 A long-time member of the talented, sly band Buellton<\/strong><\/a>, Wagner<\/strong> has released the mesmerizing song and hand-lettered lyric video for a new song from the album entitled Coney Island<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

We have waited a long time to feel the full gravitational pull of Mr. Wagner’s<\/strong> artistry, and it was well worth the wait.\u00a0 As you’ll hear below, the song sucks you in immediately with its metronomic, piano-laced jangle and sonorous vocals.\u00a0 Wagner’s<\/strong> lyrics here are appropriately oblique, but the gestalt is of tumult and loss (“The rain let up, I don’t want to go home,” “Who is it now, I don’t want to know,” and “Don’t want to let you go”).\u00a0 But then with the new instrumental\u00a0 interlude at 3:19 and the green light in the video, we sense relief and movement beyond the tumult.\u00a0 The windshield’s wiped clean from the watery force majeure, and we move on with sweet harmonies to pave the way.\u00a0 That’s life, we hope.\u00a0 The song’s a beauty, and we can’t wait for the full album.<\/p>\n
