Song of the Week – Chad VanGaalen Willow Tree
Posted on February 22nd, 2009 4 commentsChad VanGaalen Willow Tree from the album “Soft Airplane” (2008)
Though riddled with dark lyrical undertones, I absolutely love the vibrato of Chad VanGallen’s voice throughout very vivid depictions of hallucinations throughout “Soft Airplanes.” Willow Tree is a simplistic and beautiful song that I’ve had in my head for quite some time. Just can’t shake the chorus despite feeling embarrassed by the morbid lyrics.

I want to start a tradition of posting songs that are in my head. Maybe sometimes I’ll have a playlist of songs.
I’m also always looking for new music, so feel free to post some suggestions in the comments below.

Well that is a fairly pleasant composition. I even enjoy the dark lyrics. You’ve got to do something with a dead body, why not make it interesting? I wouldn’t mind going out pyrotechnical viking style. HEY KEEP POSTING THESE. Thank you.

Catchy tune, isn’t it? There’s an interesting disconnect between the lyrics and the happy, bouncy music that I can’t decide if I like or I’m just weirded out by. The vibrato was a little much for me, though; by about halfway through the song, I wanted to either stomp on whatever digital processor they were using to make it or rush the singer to the hospital to be treated for extreme diaphragm spasms.
Still, catchy! I’ll probably be humming it for the rest of the day now. Looking forward to more!

Oh yeah, that melody is now firmly implanted in the head.
Keep this up, great idea.
