FourPlay's Track of The Week: Dn Front Porch Step- Drown


If you've been looking for a song that brings a cinematic quality and palpable ambiance to the forefront then "Drown" by Front Porch Step is just what you need. Jake Mcelfresh's song's are cut deep into the emotional  experience's of his life exposing all matters of regret and "Drown" is certainly no different. The simplicity of the acoustic backdrop serves as a perfect platform for his achingly authentic lyrics to shine through. The forthright descriptions of pain and betrayal are so striking yet incredibly poetic all at once.

Sure it isn't very happy go lucky listening but it also isn't melodramatic in its delivery unlike many songs when describing the subject matter of relationships. It creates a story more than anything, it pulls the listener in and provides a brief insight into the thoughts and emotions of a broken man. His raw, impassioned and evocative vocals are second to none and really deserve a lot more recognition. But most of all the genuine sentiment that is incorporated into this piece is so compelling it will remain with you long after the track has ended.
