Some Last Words
Overall Impression: Some Last Words is an emotional new release by singer-songwriter Jeff Hartman. A Rock ballad enhanced with an electronic beat, Some Last Words fits perfectly in the world of Alternative Rock. It features elements from several eras of Rock, most notably the 80's & early 2000's, and has a sound that will pull in a vast array of listeners. The emotionally charged guitar accompaniment reflects the mood of Hartman's lyrics. It moves slowly, but does not shy away from being melodic. At times it is overshadowed by the beat, but this creates a unique dialogue between the old and new. A letter from father to son, the lyrics tell of what is important in life and ring with a heartfelt tone. They are given a solid vocal delivery by Hartman, and really emphasize the importance of the father-son relationship.
Strongest Point(s): The inclusion of the electronic beat is such a unique feature to this song. These sorts of beats emerged out of the Nu Metal & Alternative Rock scenes at the turn of the millennium. They instantly transport listeners back to that time, and reinforce the emotions that come with it. Hartman's lyrics in Some Last Words will also resonate with Fathers and Sons all over, particularly those who are in search of guidance.
Target Audience Appeal: Fans of Alternative Rock will enjoy Some Last Words by Jeff Hartman.
Artist target suggestions: Linkin Park, Incubus, Green Day, Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Hoobastank, POD, Staind, Sublime, Johnny Cash, Harry Chapin, Bryan Adams, James Taylor, Bob Seger
