Right from the jump, I like the composition of the song. The right beat, the right hook, and the right timing gave this song an all-important good first impression. It properly sets the mood for Mic S.'s reflective song.
The story's about, predictably, how music has saved Mic's life. Personifying music as a lady done wrong, Mic discusses how music has stayed by his side when all others have left. Only music has kept him on the straight and narrow, when others wanted to pull him in other directions. It was music that kept him out the streets, out a cell, and out of a grave.
A powerful message, indeed, but for some reason, there's a spark missing behind that power. Perhaps it's in the mixing, or perhaps it's the energy level. But, I feel thing song has the piece that it needs, it just needs a bit of a lift. The hook is performed nearly to perfection, but it seems the verses may be performed a bit flatly. Or, again, it could be the mix. Either way, that takes away from what otherwise is a song well done; it's inspirational, the hook alone gives it replay value (not to mention a beat that goes hand-in-hand), and you can really feel the music and message in this one.
Overall, a track I've already played a few times now and not grown bored. Then again, I can relate to this song very well. However, Mic tells a truthful story about his life that you can't help but appreciate. Simplifying the lyrics a bit to let the message shine through, this track *almost* hit's home. Song well done.
But, as always, don't take my word for it, decide for yourself -- listen below:
