Title: Ewan Cowley's "The Elevated Life" (featuring Lisa Lambe) Post by: CWazyTom on March 08, 2018, 09:12PM Ewan Cowley launched a new web site.
While I was looking around, I saw his EP, "The Elevated Life." It has 5 songs, including "The Thorns From Your Heart" featuring Lisa Lambe. Track list: 1. Hollow Ground 2. The Thorns From Your Heart feat. Lisa Lambe 3. Grianan Of Aileach 4. Wave A White Flag 5. For You While You Sleep You can listen to the songs in their entirety on his site: https://www.ewancowley.com/ You can also listen to it and buy it on Bandcamp: https://ewancowley.bandcamp.com/album/the-elevated-life This EP is REALLY good! The album cover was alright, but it didn't blow me away. I already have the song with Lisa in it, of course, but I listened to the rest of the EP and I was super-impressed! It has a very pleasant and soothing sound. I loved all the songs! --- Spoilers Below--- ... ... ... The album is contemporary, consisting mostly of what I would describe light pop songs with a mild country flavour to some of them. Three of the songs have vocals and the other two are instrumentals. Hollow Ground: - The melody at the start of the song reminded me of "When You Go" from Destiny - Ewan's got a pretty relaxing voice - The violin accompaniment is nice - It has some satisfying transitions between major and minor keys The Thorns from Your Heart: - Ewan and Lisa's voices sound fantastic together - Lisa soothing voice and trademark ornamentation seemed perfect for this song - Definitely my favourite vocal song on the album (because it featured Lisa and because it sounded gorgeous) Grianan Of Aileach: - This is a string instrumental - The melody is incredibly beautiful! <3 - This reminded me of Mairead Nesbitt's "There Is No Night" - It legitimately made me cry it was so good - By far the best light-instrumental song I have ever heard outside of Celtic Woman or Mairead's albums - I can't even believe I'm saying this but as much as I adored the song featuring Lisa, I think I loved this one even more. <3 Wave A White Flag: - This a nice slow song with a sweeping accompaniment - I think my brain was still going CWazy after hearing the previous song, so it was a bit hard to concentrate on this one For You, While You Sleep: - A nice guitar instrumental with gentle string-based accompaniment - Quite soothing - I like it, although it's pretty much impossible to top "Grianan Of Aileach" ... ... ... --- Spoilers Above --- Title: Re: Ewan Cowley's "The Elevated Life" (featuring Lisa Lambe) Post by: Maloney on March 09, 2018, 01:11PM Agreed.
