S. Coop has returned with a stripped-down stinger, "UNDER DI GUN-ACOUSTIC VERSION" This acoustic rework serves up a generous portion of pure feeling, combined with top-shelf, clever lyricism, which unwraps unhealthy love songwriting on razor-sharp pinpoints through lush rhythm & melody.
This acoustic shell of the song reveals something much more profound than melody, it exposes openness, humor, and that trademark pang of loving someone who will one day break your heart. Where the original may be louder, this acoustic version is soft and dressed in the songwriter's clothing. S. Coop doesn't yell, he speaks with clear and calm intent as though he knows not to mess with the fire. The message is implied, you played me, but I can play too. It opens with a downbeat chord before S. Coop lets listeners into a life of contemplation and revenge. Despite its breezy, inviting tempo, the song's message is dark and somber. Don't mistake kindness for weakness.
The balance between narrative and groove is excellent. Sung over a chilled-out beat, the rhythmic flow makes your shoulders want to ascend as you listen to every word that is being said. The one you subconsciously hum in the shower, until you decide actually to listen and understand what he's talking about. That's the magic. The hook is catchy, but it also strikes a deep chord.
