America is a heartfelt song with superb guitar playing. The lyrics use storytelling, creating a vibrant and colorful soundscape from a grounded perspective. Other sounds and instruments besides the guitar such as percussions and rhythmic maracas complete the track’s tone. This country song is the work of Dave Clark, an artist who grew up in Northern England and is now based in East London. He is known for the combination of intricate guitar pieces and soulful vocals.

The track begins with a simple acoustic guitar riff backed by a violin. Shortly after, the percussions, bass and a monologue from a woman enters the scene. This immediately sets the song’s tone as a simple, country ballad full of emotion and introspection. Dave begins the first voice by singing through the perspective of a person who faced intolerance in the land of America. In contrast with the verses, the hook is sung and played in a hopeful bittersweet manner that is beautiful and memorable. The leading instrument of the whole track is the melodic acoustic guitar, played forward that carries the song’s tune. It dynamically creates points of interest from the short instrumental breaks and the catchy repeated hooks. This piece is an amazing amalgamation of acoustic and electric tones, blended with soulful vocals that hope to send a message and make an impact on the people of the world. Dave intentionally chooses to sing this piece through the perspective of another, in hopes of making a point. Be on the lookout for more of Dave’s work as he focuses on releasing more music this year.
