The Real World Sessions, Vol. 1 - EP
This is really different from what we usually get from Gavin. There are no angry songs! The new versions of songs we've heard before are changed enough to feel like new songs; and the actual new songs show a different, softer direction. We still get the clear beautiful voice and awesome piano, but we're getting raw emotion rather than powerful beatings on the instrument. There's nothing wrong with power cords and I look forward to whatever else he has in store for us this year! As for this EP, I love it!
Gavin's Real World Sessions
This EP is excellent. It's more personal than any of his other two albums, mainly because it's only him and a piano, and you feel like you're standing right behind him when he sings. He really puts himself into his music. He even has a piano solo in it. "The Wooden Room," which is exquisite. The Death Cab For Cutie and Peter Gabriel covers are amazing too. Gavin gave me everything I wanted +some.
Just the guy and his piano
Of course Mr. Mikhail's music can be upbeat, fast, angry...and then it can be soft. That seems to be a theme. Soft. These songs are played with so much feeling and emotion pressed into each key on the piano. I had never really listened to the lyrics of Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Follow You into the Dark." But hearing Gavin play it and sing it really made me listen. All of these songs. Beautiful before, of course, but when the artist and listener take time, so much more can be perceived. The new songs are great as they are. Of course, now I want to hear them with accompanying instruments, the whole "piano rock" sound Gavin has cultivated on both of his albums. I listened through these songs on a grey, rainy day. Looking through huge windows, folding clothes. My mood melted into the music and the ambience of the weather, the natural light. Any music that can accomplish that...well, I just hope I can find that place of harmony again.
