What makes a piece of music so hauntingly moving? Duff Kelly gives us the answer with “Lace My Kicks.” As sensuous and dreamful the soundscapes wrapped around his smooth and distant voice as if approaching you in a dream, the kicks and punches drive the track to reach beyond the further land. The reverberant deep sonics floating in the background gives the track a determined and solid foundation at the same time, effortlessly depicting the spaciousness where the dreamful and inspired sparkles shimmer under the dark blue canvas.
Duff Kelly’s communicates the inner struggle between passion and obstacles through raw and honest lyrics that always come from the heart. The mixture of an acoustic instrument and synth pads has wonderfully captured this heartfelt and authentic character of his music. Personally, I can’t think of any reason anyone could not like this song as it is so beautifully orchestrated and movingly written.
Inspired by Kelly’s personal journey of searching for truth and love despite the tragic and unpredicted events, “Lace My Kicks” reflects the spirit and passion that thrives to survive in the conflict with dissonance, randomness, and chaos—the constant in the inconsistency. Maybe that is the reason why “Lace My Kicks” is so easy to relate to.
“Perhaps all is exactly as should be, balancing in perfect harmony amongst the chaos that gives meaning,” said Duff Kelly
