Whilst there\u2019s so much acoustic music around at the moment, a lot of it starts to sound the same. This stands out to me &#8211; the lyrics are like nothing else, and it really tells a brilliant story. This could so easily have been over produced, but it just sounds like a massively talented guy &#8211; which is what Jono is!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>THEATRE ROYAL &#8211; TUNE OUT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of my 2017 favourites &#8211; this has the guts of The Buzzcocks, and it\u2019s quite simply an anthem. The dual vocal, the lead guitar\u2026 it never lets up. Again &#8211; this isn\u2019t a massively produced anthem &#8211; it\u2019s the sound of a hungry young band who are starting to break through and find their audience &#8211; which they deserve to do. A well crafted song like this is quite rare these days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>NOAH GUNDERSEN &#8211; FAMILY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Like many people, I first heard this on Sons Of Anarchy &#8211; and it was such a perfect accompaniment to the scenes. Another acoustic track, but Noah\u2019s a master of sending chills up and down spines. He does that subtle thing so well, and he just brings up the intensity and takes it right back down all throughout. Again, for me &#8211; lyrics are such an important part of a great song &#8211; I want to hear something really new and interesting &#8211; and this song delivers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>LITTLE GREEN CARS &#8211; HARPER LEE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This song made me want to form a band\u2026. exactly like Little Green Cars. I think this was out in about 2013, but it sounds a bit like something from the 1960\u2019s &#8211; it\u2019s a bit like The Mamas &amp; The Papas. But with that indie edge &#8211; it\u2019s a bit off-centre whilst still being an anthem.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>SIA &#8211; CLAP YOUR HANDS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I got into Sia really really late &#8211; basically because everyone wants a song that sounds like Sia wrote it &#8211; and I started getting asked for songs that sounded like that by labels. People had told me about her before &#8211; always that \u201cher earlier stuff is better\u201d. It\u2019s nothing like what I would write &#8211; but I fell in love with her music &#8211; I think she\u2019s going to be remembered for a long, long time. I love the guitar in this song &#8211; and as ever with Sia &#8211; it\u2019s massively catchy &#8211; it seems almost like she can\u2019t write a bad song. And if you think that\u2019s as \u201cpop\u201d as I get, the next one will surprise you.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- Random Ad stuff --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display: block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2076862002005673\" data-ad-slot=\"3107208401\" data-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins><\/p>\n<p><script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>JORDIN SPARKS &#8211; BATTLEFIELD<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is my favourite pop song ever. Ryan Tedder (OneRepublic) wrote this &#8211; and his demo sounds almost exactly the same &#8211; he\u2019s at the top of his game &#8211; I\u2019ve got so much respect for that guy. But I love the Jordin Sparks version &#8211; her voice just suits this perfectly. I would love to write something like this. Or\u2026 I wish I\u2019d written this. And not just for the cash.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>SKYLAR GREY &#8211; MOVING MOUNTAINS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Back to the acoustic vibe. I found this one through a Spotify playlist. It\u2019s got that accessible thing that so many artists are churning out these days &#8211; there\u2019s a definite sound around that are just getting chucked onto playlists &#8211; but this is one of the few really great songs that has some guts behind it. Yet again &#8211; the lyrics really speak to me, and as a composition, it\u2019s interestting. And of course, the most important thing &#8211; it adds up to making a great song.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>HEADSWIM &#8211; YEARS ON ME<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This track was so important to me when I was in my early 20\u2019s. Headswim had a pretty big hit when i was a teenager I think, but it was my drummer who introduced them to me properly. This kind of sounds like a few things that have been around in the last 5 years, but it\u2019s from about 2000 I think. The band could have really done some great things &#8211; but as happens so often with bands on major labels &#8211; they just didn\u2019t get the right push. Great band.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>BESS ATWELL &#8211; COBBLED STREETS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019ve only heard this on the radio once &#8211; and it stopped me in my tracks. Again &#8211; lyrics. Sometimes a song just captures where you are in life &#8211; and this one nailed it. I suspect Bess was fighting the same battles as me in the music industry, and therefore personally. Oh &#8211; and the acoustic version I heard is even better in my opinion. \u201cShould it be this hard? Should it feel like disconnecting? When the role I play is a sweet and tired array\u201d \u201cAnd I can write a song, and sell it to someone who better fits my work\u201d I choked, and wanted to cry &#8211; really caught me off guard &#8211; like someone wrote it about me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>ELVIS COSTELLO &amp; THE ATTRACTIONS &#8211; I WANT YOU<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kenton &#8211; my old band mate got me into Elvis Costello. I just love how this starts so sweetly, and turns\u2026 snaps like people are prone to do. It\u2019s a song of obsessive love, which can so easily be a dangerous thing. I don\u2019t entirely relate to how far the jealousy goes in this song &#8211; I think this is one of those songs I pick and choose the lyrics I want to relate to, so it can suit my own life.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>REUBEN &#8211; BOY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So many songs I could choose by Reuben &#8211; pretty much all of them &#8211; but I first heard this about 3 or 4 years after my Dad had died, so I really related it to my Father. Reuben\u2019s lyrics and structures have always been really interesting to me &#8211; and even though this one is probably less an example of that, it\u2019s still something I\u2019ll listen to as a reference point for my own songs &#8211; does it give me that feeling? Does it build as well as that? And the guy\u2019s voice is just so brilliant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>BAND OF SKULLS &#8211; FIRES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I\u2019d heard Band Of Skulls before &#8211; but this song came out and seemed so fresh at the time. Around their first album, I found them so exciting &#8211; a 3 piece &#8211; brilliant dual vocals &#8211; the guitarist sort of reminded me as a cross between Hendrix and Cobain in sound. This had been a favourite for a few years, but became a song which sort of soundtracked a relationship &#8211; so it\u2019ll always be one of my anthems (and &#8211; cheeky plug &#8211; indirectly\u2026 or directly influenced a lot of what\u2019s happening in my next album &#8211; the \u2018Fires\u2019 theme).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>TEENAGE FANCLUB &#8211; MELLOW DOUBT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI\u2019m in trouble, I know it\u201d &#8211; that line always catches my attention. These guys are such great songwriters, and the vocal harmonies are so understated &#8211; they just make me want to write songs like that. But of course, Teenage Fanclub already do what they better than I could&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chris Ilett is a singer songwriter and instrumentalist whose new album &#8216;Wayward Fires&#8217;, is set for release on March 28, 2018.
