It's Just A Situation....
Listen to what one music writer from Odd Nugget Music Magazine, Mr Jeff M. Writes, had to say about the new independent release, Situations by Michael Egleton,
"..Love on the rocks, drenched in nostalgia… Michael Egleton’s “Situations” hearkens back to soul’s golden age with flair. This track traipses the edge of consciousness in a haze of anguish. Michael Egleton sings with the raw emotion of classic soul crooners – telling his tale of woe over an elegantly sparse arrangement. “Jumped in my car, went to the bar…” A dimlit bar room creaks as you enter. The gloom is cold welcome. Warmth is a shot glass. Gin’s no tonic for what ails you. ..Thoughts war within – threatening to escape to reality; transform into actions. Her eyes come back into view and you stand – dropping change on the bar before returning home. “It’s just a situation.” Egleton harnesses a lot of classic soul influence in “Situations.” Old and new converge. The spoken word segment feels like a Boyz II Men hat tilt, though they weren’t alone in such tendencies. Regardless, it helps carry the plaintive story and fits well in the song.”
Situations is a song of what can happen when a simple conversation can go side ways quickly and get out of control. Things are said that are not really meant. Words one may wish they could take back. Feelings are hurt. Hearts are destroyed.
Situations is not a song for the faint of heart. One must be real with themselves to listen to and understand the flavor of this song. Can I say the words, "I was wrong." or "I'm Sorry." Two of the simplest yet hardest words for some to say. You run to a place where opportunity abounds for something bad to happen. The bar. You see your cup of tea reading you like a book. "..... It's Morning Time..." Where will you end up? Back in your bed like the song says or someone elses arms when morning time comes? It's just a Situation....
