Lyrical is an emotional, heartfelt, and simple ballad sung and written by Paul Cafcae. Paul picked up the guitar while studying in Maryland during high school, and that was when he started writing his material and playing in bands across Europe and North America. From then on he moved to Canada and that was when he continued to release new music and tour across the world. The artist’s genre mainly focuses on blending Americana music with expressive imagery.

In contrast to Paul’s previous songs, which are punk-fueled and loud, Lyrical takes a step down to a simple combination of raw vocals and an acoustic guitar. The song starts with a mellow vibe provided by soothing vocals and a repeating fingerpicked guitar riff. As the track reaches the middle, listeners will experience the song gradually becoming louder and more emotional. The fingerpicked guitar is strummed loudly, making it sound distorted. Each line by Paul feels sincere and genuine, forming a connection with audiences through the vocals. Despite its simplicity and minimalistic nature, Lyrical still has that same kind of rebellious theme present in the artist’s songs. It specializes in visualizing and painting a canvas through words and creating a narrative through the imagery brought about by Paul’s vulnerable and artistic vision.
