Song Review/ Folk Rock : Gedalya’s ‘Just One Cigarette’
Gedalya Folk Rock Rabbi has just released his latest single, ‘Just One Cigarette’, a track that lifts into the experience of being a smoker. Encapsulated in the tale of one smoker who knows it’s bad for him but wants to do it anyway. The artist crafts the folk rock track with a romanticism, a fluid commentary that is more an exchange of ideas and thoughts about the theme than it is about anything else.
The vocals have a casual mood, as it draws on over the bare acoustics and the distant accordion. As the soundscape develops, it gains a buoyant rock beat structure which suits the theme quite well. As the smoker lives from cigarette to cigarette, each one has a story, a state of mind. And to live like that can be a beautiful thing. No one died of just one cigarette anyway, right? It is feel-good and so charmingly human. Listen Now!
