A Masterclass in Emotional Storytelling
The airwaves are resonating with the sounds of SETH HILARY JACKSON's latest single, "Throwing Good Love After Bad Blood." The veteran songwriter, known for his versatility and emotive compositions, has once again spun a raw, evocative tapestry of sound and emotion. This song blends the storytelling prowess of David Bowie with the distinctive tonal qualities of David Byrne, delivering a musical experience that is as profound as it is unique.
The song's charm lies in its storytelling: a deeply personal narrative of generational pain, the shadows of a troubled past, and the struggle of love in the face of inherent dysfunction. It’s a narrative that is both timeless and of-the-moment; and it is told with a level of honesty and vulnerability that is uniquely SETH HILARY JACKSON.

It's a voice that whispers, pleads, and roars with a sincerity that gives the words a purpose beyond the lyrics themselves.
The upbeat psychedelic quality of the song serves as the perfect backdrop to the narrative, creating an auditory landscape that is as vivid as it is artistic. The vibrant wide-panned strumming of acoustic guitars intertwines with epic distorted guitar solos, painting a soundscape that is as textured as the story it tells. It's a sonic journey that pulls the listener into the heart of the narrative, demanding attention and empathy.
Lyrically, "Throwing Good Love After Bad Blood" is a masterclass in emotional storytelling.
