Asa - The one who never comes Review

ASA – (The One that never comes) a Kennedy Tareotu Review.

INSTRUMENTAL

It is a great way to start a song, subtle, calm and intriguing. The instrumentation followed the song as it does. The drive of it all is the string that always comes into the chorus to give us a better emotional quotient.

SINGING SENSATION

She is a credible act when it turns to being subtle but with an emotional quotient necessary for her kind of music. And here Asa made you feel relaxed, or made you listen, and when you listened you find yourself going through her lyric, which kind of affects your mood.

Her singing sensation is what I call a Pro active feel/discipline with no necessity to be loud and impressive, making her sound as simple as possible and yet give you a great song. A lot of great artist likes to sound this way, in a Pro active discipline like an Adele did in ‘Don’t You Remember’. All the act does is to follow the beat professionally, subtle but emotional. Even John Legend used this Pro Active discipline in ‘All of Me’, you would hear an act not willing to shout, and do any skill, exchanging skill for technique - wants to sound simple, low and want you to listen.  We hear this more in country music, something like Johnny Cash ‘hurt’, John Mayer ‘Your body is a wonderland’.

 And Asa gave us what is truly a Professional Active feel/discipline in this song.

LYRICAL CONTENT

‘Why you want tell me all your secrets, don’t you know am a girl who never falls.

Why you want pour your heart out to me, when you know I will hit the road every single time you call.

Chorus

Please don’t tell me you are falling, cause I wouldn’t know what to do with myself

Please don’t tell me you love me cause I have been waiting waiting waiting.

For the one who never comes.

Verse 1

I have looked for long in all directions, but you’ve been here all along.

So how could it be you, in my dreams it was so different

But am caught off guard and I don’t know what to do

Chorus

Please don’t tell me you are falling, cause I wouldn’t know what to do with myself

Please don’t tell me you love me cause I have been waiting waiting waiting.

For the one who never comes.

Bridge

You are the sunshine through my day

You are the laughter when we say, all the things we shouldn’t say. When the others left you stayed. Now that the cards have all been played. Maybe let’s not walk away.

Chorus Playback’

I believe this lyrics is reasonable enough to pass a simple message that says “Sometimes what you want is right beside you”. It’s a great lyrical arrangement for me, even if the poetry of it is depleting. It doesn’t have to be how great your words look sometimes, but how great it could sound and if it passes the message you want.

COMPOSITION

In a Pro Active disciplined composition, one thing you need to have is the ability to feel yourself and make people feel you. Before anyone gets emotional about what you sing, they have to feel your emotional gestures even without seeing you. It also takes an austere or a rigid technique to get everyone listening.

Asa composition was simply wise, she didn’t want to hear the word boring as a tag in this song, she gave it only a one verse, one bridge and chorus edge. The end of it makes you feel it’s no longer too subtle. And it’s a great way to compose a song with Pro Active discipline, you either use a lot of emotion quotient and technique like Adele used ‘Someone like you’, or you fit your song to be quick and get a part of the song you have to just flow not more in discipline but in freedom.

Overall Remark

“This song to me cannot be compared to a lot of songs that follows the rule of Pro active discipline and feel, but it stands out to fit as a soundtrack and as a great song”.
