The eagerly awaited (certainly by us here at Silverball Country) 2nd single from Mitchell Kersley opens with a guitar picking; giving nothing away about what the track might offer. There’s a pause and then Kersley’s deep voice almost speaks the words that describe the man that suppressing his feeling.
The chorus “I Only Cry When
I’m Drinking” brings in the singing full of emotion. The song tells us that as he drinks, he thinks
about all the things that get him down and then his emotions hit him. Many of us have that one drink that gives
that extra push and releases our emotions, it appears for Kersley’s its whiskey
that releases his tears!
The metaphor of the damaged
vessel sinking just highlights the slippery slope that we are on.
A strong drumbeat, adds a
Celtic twist to our outlaw country in the 2nd verse, providing a
positive upbeat as the lyrics aim to tell our singer he has to step up, he’s a
man not a boy he can cope, he just had one to many and the whiskey is talking.
Tomorrow will be a better day.
It ends on a simple guitar
stroke.
A very simple track, describing
a common event but very impactful!
This is a charity single raising money for Mind, the mental health charity. The pandemic is having a huge impact on our mental help and many of us have lost our musical outlet. Listen to a great track and support a good cause, for that will we forgive Kersley’s artwork and the excessive use of ice in the whiskey glass – it’s enough to make any whiskey lover cry.
I Only Cry When I'm Drinking, the new single from Mitchell Kersley is released on Friday 30 October on all major platforms
