Hello, Desperado - Where’s MY Lighter? (EP)
You’ll be asking yourself the same question before & after listening to Hello, Desperado’s meditative latest, preferably before cause this collection calls for it. It calls for lighters to be held up as high as one can imagine. Damn near touching the clouds, as a matter of fact, you’ll feel just like Desperado clearly intended the listener to feel like they’re sleepwalking amongst nine clouds. Even more beautiful being that nine is the number of completion & this is yet another complete body of work from the concise crooner & gorgeously introspective storyteller.
The way those strings come in is straight down from the Heavens; I sometimes know the light inside seems dim but with a light flicker. A lambent glimmer in the distance, that glow at the end of the tunnel, looks like a tiny beacon of light in the mist. Still, it is reachable if you know how to ignite those embers sitting deep down in the pit of your stomach, you just need a “Lil Light” to portend over your darkness, only a minuscule amount, it’s enough to build from like his calm serenading inspires you to do. Still, he has one question to ask of you & that’s “Where’s My Lighter?” a light smoke never did anything but calm the nerves & ease the stresses we continuously face, standing tall & brave in the face of any & all adversity.
This beautifully crafted, concise piece of beauty to further expand his catalog, let alone your spirituality is pure “Euphoria.” It’s a breath of fresh air & the gust of wind blowing in your face like a drive out into the country, nobody around, just you with your head hanging out the window, admiring the peacefulness of the scenery. An absolute must-hear & please do, for it’s never too late to get into the “Matrix” cause, who in their right mind would want to get out of it, at least for this moment in time, that’s not even an option.
