Michael Hansson is at it again! Another tour de force is in full swing with his newest track off the presses. This time around a swaying type intro opens the door to "Lucky Coins" and leads us down the hall to another well crafted production, bringing in another breath of fresh air.
Combining both acoustic and electric, the guitar playing is excellent as usual; there is a nice easy vibe to this song that sits very well with me. It’s a reminder to us all, that in order to keep up with the "rat race", we may be losing touch with who we really are. And sometimes, that is just not worth the price of admission.
There is definitely a great laid back vibe and if I didn't know any better, I could swear Michael has to have some roots in California somewhere. There is always an earthy feel to his writing and he has an uncanny ability to weave the positive into a song, while not bringing out the negative.
The lyrics are well done with warm and rich background vocals. A nice drum and guitar breakdown, as well as a great bass line, meld everything together while helping to carve out the identity of the song.
As we delve into the heart of the matter, a sing along is sure to ensue as a great chorus surely will lead the charge against the lawyers and the bankers. Could this be a battle hymn for the 21st century Robin Hood?
All in all, Michael wraps up another great piece of music that leaves me feeling that the place we are right now, may be the perfect place after all. Thank you for the reminder and the message, we would all be better off if we had a little Michael Hansson streaming out of our speakers a little more often!
