Nothing makes me simultaneously shake my head and laugh harder than musicians who’ve been multi-millionaires for 2 decades, sing and make a video about “I relate to those in poverty and broken homes. I mean, it’s been over 20 years since I was a child in Canada, but I feels ya!”

He does though because he's lived it. Deryck grew up the child of a single mother moving around from place to place. He never knew his father, it's not the first time he's addressed the topic through Sums music.

God I love Howard's voice

 

He could sing about dandruff and it'd still sound like gold

Aging rock stars don’t come across as sincere or genuine when they try and relate to everyday folk.

 

If Bono, at 59 years of age, trotted out a single about growing up with a widowed father and telling kids in a video pandering to teens that “You’re not alone”, it again, comes across as pandering.

 

Especially in Whimbly’s case where he’s been irrelevant for what, 15 years? That song isn’t anything the world hasn’t heard a million times before. And, if “trotted out” by a much younger singer on their first album where they haven’t been rich and famous for decades, or if by an aging multi-millionaire who’s nearly 40, perhaps a less generic song.

You'all got me thinking of female singers that I like.

Loved this album when I was a teen. Yellow Sony Walkman, this tape and a summer full of skimboarding...those were the days.
