The Val Papadins - No One Wants To Move The Piano
- “No One Wants To Move The Piano,” from The Val Papadins, is a rock album filled with soft melodies and tracks that will get listeners’ boogying hard. The vocalist’s timbre goes from festive to somewhat reserved, depending on the focus of the song. Yet each track has its own message that listeners will have to listen carefully for.
On “Night Train” the rhythm of the song sounds like a boxcar going by in the moonlight to destinations unknown. The acoustic guitar play combined with the vocalist’s sleepy timbre might make some listeners take a nap where they can dream about being aboard this train on their way to who knows where. There is drum work in the intro, but it gets more pronounced as the song progresses and becomes more march-like, as if the train is going on a particular path. The vocalist croons about the anticipation of the trip with lines like, “The night before the ride…I hope you know.” It seems the band is asking if listeners are prepared to take the journey this track will lead them on.
“The Siren Song” has a more lively tone to it and its pace is quicker, which is brought about by the pop-like guitar and drum work. This song could be one played in a motion picture where a pair of lovers run away to be together against the wishes of their elders and go to hide in their special secret spot. The vocalist expounds on the couple’s tale with lines like, “I wanna take you on a drive to the bridge on the west side. I wanna take you there before it gets light.”
On “Wandering Eye” listeners will be privy to acoustic guitar work where they can actually hear each chord being strummed. Then deeper guitar play can be heard, along with what could be piano work. On this track the vocalist goes on about emotions he feels and how he cannot seem to escape them no matter how hard he tries. “I got a heart full of lovin’, I got a scar full of hurtin’…Don’t whisper in my ear…My hands are tied.” Chimes are brought in later-on in the song, which give it a whimsical, dreamy feeling and could make listeners picture drifting along.
The Val Papadins’ “No One Wants To Move The Piano” is an introspective record that has melodious tracks that will captivate listeners. Many of the song’s intentions will touch listeners and have them think back to situations where they too felt as the band feels.
