Quote The Raven’s Home Is Worth The Blues is Soothing, Sad and Brilliant

Quote The Raven – Home is Worth the Blues

Place Your Bets On Talented Singer Laine Gardner

Sometimes things happen in your life for a reason, sometimes we don’t know why or what the universe is trying to tell us, but there must have been a reason for my wanting to click on the email out of hundreds, to listen to this track……and then that reason was clear.

When a song begins by pulling you in within the first 30 secs you know it’s worth listening to.

As soon as Kirsten Rodden-Clarke opens with her warm and captivating voice with ‘Baby I’ve been gone….’ I was in.

Que Jordan Coaker and the track blossomed like watching a sunflower opening in fast motion loaded with emotion and near perfect harmony.

Home is Worth the Blues is a simple yet a powerful song both lyrically and musically that shows the combination of what this duo has to offer; it’s simply beautiful.

Perhaps it’s my current state of mind as I hung off every word, and when I couldn’t quite hear what that lyric was, I went to the extent of emailing and asking for the lyrics. (something I never do)

If you know me and how meticulous and hard to please I am, this is saying a lot, and to add to this, I was never a great fan of the generalised folk genre of music.

The song was written by Jorden, Kirsten and Blake Reid and is an ode to their working lives for the joys that home provides.

Prior to this track, Quote the Raven had success from their Christmas single, “Lonely Christmas” and “Hope” which was a summer release resulting on the TRAX Canada Country Top 100 for over 24 weeks!

Quote the Raven states, “Written in a slaughterhouse in Calgary, the single was inspired by the environment, the stories told and the history within the building,… We want this song to resonate with those who are always working tirelessly to make ends meet and to know their voices are heard.”

The lyrics could be related to any situation that applies to what any individual is encountering in their lives and I found this extremely soothing, sad and brilliant!

Can’t wait for their upcoming album ‘Can’t Hold the Light’.
