David Kushner's EP, "20 Years From Now," is not just a set of songs; it's an intimate, weathered document of love, rapture, and the heaviness of everything unexpressed. With seven intensely personal songs, the singer-songwriter creates an evolving dreamscape that interlayers sorrow and peace while admonishing listeners to love intensely, deeply, and cautiously.
From the opening track, Love Worth Saving, Kushner's voice deep, ragged, reverberating ushers listeners into a world where love hangs perilously between salvation and heartbreak. Over acoustic melodies that are as fragile as they are powerful, the song sets up an EP that hovers like a memory.
Standout tracks Safe in My Arms and Ends With You highlight Kushner's masterful skill for storytelling even further. So much is said in the weight of Safe in My Arms, the heaviness of devotion wrapping around the listener like a sworn promise. Ends With You, in the meantime, offers a poetic resolution, a bittersweet acceptance that love is impermanent. Every note and every lyric feels intentional , like a letter sent into the ether, unanswered but infinite.
With a listening duration of 21 minutes, "20 Years From Now" is an experience that listeners brave enough to feel will carry in their hearts.
