In the musical sanctuary crafted by The Harpoonist, the harmonica becomes more than just an instrument. It becomes a conduit for divine inspiration. With haunting organs, vocals that soar like hymns, and an ethereal chorus of electronic angels, one can find the echoes of celestial harmony in the inspiring message that The Harpoonist, also known as Shawn Hall, is delivering to us all.
From his upcoming debut solo album, Did We Come Here to Dance, “Good People” finds The Harpoonist embarking on a spiritual odyssey of sorts. On the song, he says,
“‘Good People’ hit me like a brick to the head at my dining room table about a year ago, sort of like a mantra of some kind. I had this dizzying nature whirling around in me – it’s a call to action, in its simplest form asking “did we come here to dance or come here to die?”
What’s wonderful about “Good People” is that it’s a religious experience. The Harpoonist is preaching to the proverbial choir of those willing to listen through his lyrics, offering words of wisdom and guidance. It’s that ‘come to Jesus moment’ in music where one understands that in unity the human race can be great.
Heed the call of “Good People” and embrace the transformative power of music. In the hands of The Harpoonist, the harmonica becomes a beacon of hope, guiding us toward a brighter tomorrow where harmony reigns supreme.
