(End of the Night - Tim Ferguson)
It's funny how you stumble upon something randomly and there came the thought where you didn't particularly know you were looking for it but as soon it was in front of you, you'd say, "Where have you been?" That was the kind of feeling when I found Tim Ferguson. I found this amazing musician through youtube when I was on my way back from London to Bournemouth. In the midst of mundane two-hour coach journey home, I was scrolling through my tumblr's dashboard, then I found a Pop Punk Goes Acoustic video that my friend reblogged - this instantly caught my attention because it listed most of the songs I grew up with. Honestly, I rarely bought anything through video; by all means I usually skipped video post on tumblr, but this time, I stopped and spare a couple minutes to watched. From that moment on, I could not stop listening.
There is something about his voice that drawn my attention immediately. He is so genuine; there is this sense of security flows when you listen to his songs. It is hard to elaborate more without sounding very cheesy and all but to be honest, it is that hard being objective for something this good. His kind of music hums some sort of hidden invitation to stay - as if you just find a new home. It welcomes and comforts you in the same time. You just want to lie down and relish every passing second and find yourself being at peace with the world. Too bad he lives far away in the States. I'd really like to see him live.
To have a brief sense of his music, in my opinion, it sounds like a mixture of NeverShoutNever with a little mild touch of Death Cab For Cutie calming-on-the-edge-of-darkness kind of tone. It is obvious, acoustic guitar suits his voice character very well. He has this unique bit, where he almost sounds like he dragged his deep voice yet he managed to pull it right. And also when he hit the high note, it fits the whole thing. His cover for I Can't Make You Love Me by Bon Iver assured me even more because not everyone is able to do justice on covering Bon Iver's song. I mean, he definitely can make anybody love him. However, if you don't fancy all calm and standstill tunes, you can still have the best of both world through his other band project, April Chase, where you can have louder beat, and not being less amazing than his solo. So, listen. He's too good to miss.
