Barry Tierney – Colours on Canvas
“Colours on Canvas” features Barry Tierney’s yearning, beautiful lyricism for he creates a lovely little universe.
Barry Tierney embraces a twee folk-pop atmosphere on the warm “Colours on Canvas“. A sense of restraint imbues the arrangement with intimacy. Full of such raw emotion the song feels so rich. The instrumental variety offers a careful balance to it. Rhythms feature a gentleness to it. Keeping things open and airy is second nature for Barry, for the song implies a vast space. Easily the highlight of the work comes from his impassioned vocals. Verses here get woven together to place the listener into a dreamlike state, one warm and welcoming.
From the very beginning, he sets the mood with gusto. Lots of energy pours out of it. Thanks to the acoustic nature of much of the work it gains a timeless, classic stance. All done with dignity the fragility of the piece comes from how the interplay goes on. Rather than engaging in solos, they make sure that the layers seem to get woven together to result in a rather beautiful bloom of melody. The evolution of the work feels gorgeous. Done with all of it the tempos change in unexpected path. His voice explores a sense of true wonder about the world. Usage of the accordion adds is done so tastefully, giving the song a wistfulness of sorts. For the final stretch, everything seems to blend in a beautiful, blissed-out fashion. Even for the finale, he remains calm and crystal clear in his intentions.
