…you’re only an echo
Most days Monday through Friday while I sit and type and answer questions and plan important things, my day is pleasantly peppered with my friend Dainon sending songs and other things that bring me joy. Lately, this dayjob of mine has been quite busy and lots of the stuff I’m connecting best with comes from him.
Today a song popped into my inbox that I loved from the get-go.
Salt Lake City artist David Williams is preparing to release a rich live EP called Wyoming, and the last track on it is a live version of his song “Echo.” Joining him on vocals is the lovely Laura Gibson, a folk artist whose voice I adore (see here). That, and some otherworldy vibrating saw (or…theremin?) being played throughout — gives me chills.
please don’t save me
well i feel i’m wandering….
you’re only an echo
only an echo
Echo (featuring Laura Gibson) – David Williams
This song has also been adopted by Band of Annuals (previous post), who I am growing to love more and more by the week. Watch their arresting version:
For my four readers in Utah, David Williams is having a fundraiser show on Sunday at The Loft to pay for mastering his upcoming album (in July). The $20 ticket gets you a the live show, the concert-only Wyoming EP, the album once it comes out this summer … and some pre-show beer! Tickets are limited to 75.
What a deal. I’d go.

I have such a hard time choosing which band does this better … the actual singer/songwriter in question or Band of Annuals. And then I came to the conclusion that I didn’t have to decide. I can choose to love each equally.

my heart is big enough for the both of them.
