It’s a good album for that, but anyone hoping for deeper meanings should look elsewhere. I can imagine this album finding an audience among like-minded lost lovers who need to wallow for a time in such pleasant-sounding melancholia. One after another, this procession of put downs fails to make a significant emotional connection. Later, in the same song, he mixes metaphors, singing “I hope you find your bright blue sky with all the stars you’re missing”, oblivious to the illogical mix of day/night in the reference. The “quite” is such a weak word to use as filler in that line so many other words could provide the necessary beat while also offering emotive impact. “You can keep your haunted house”, he sings in “Out of Line”, “The only ghost there was you it turned out.” He displays a similar metrical clumsiness in “Play That One Again” when he sings “I’ve always been quite on your side”.
Laswell is capable of biting, hard lines, but throughout this collection he reaches too often for the easy symbol or obvious statement. “I’m going to be lazy when I write about you,” he sings in “Everyone Thinks I Dodged a Bullet”, and, unfortunately, the evidence of the lyrics throughout the rest of the record fulfill the promise of this putdown, only to diminish the singer himself. If left long enough, a dog will eat a body completely, bones, soft tissues, hair and all. Some EMTs have reported that when they find a person who has died in their home whose pet has started eating them, it is mostly dogs that are the culprit. Dogs do often eat their owners after they die. The songs that follow, though, seem to give in to the kind of directionless self-pity that this masterful song avoids, and the energy it builds quickly dissipates. The short answer to this question is yes. The marching organ and lockstep drums drive the song forward like an old Chevy chugging down the road away from the former lover’s town. In it, he makes full use of his Leonard Cohen-like baritone to declare acceptance of a broken love affair and his own role in its end, “Everyone thinks I dodged a bullet / But I think I shot the gun.” Then, as he continues to offer self-assurance, a higher, plaintive vocal tone reveals the self-doubt that is eating away at him. Which is a shame, because the opener, which gives the album its name, is a great song, one of Laswell’s best. Electronic drums, standard, sleepy jazz tempos, and, even, Auto-Tuned vocals (on “Watch You Burn”) make the record sound dated upon arrival. What’s left, though, is a collection of moody, synthetically symphonic ballads that lack any sense of adventure. His songs have been featured in such television shows as Grey’s Anatomy and Parenthood, and like those programs, which had their dramatic moments but rarely broke new ground or pushed especially hard at artistic boundaries, his work can effectively pluck at the heartstrings and evoke a sympathetic melancholy.Įverything we hear on Everyone Thinks I Dodged a Bullet, his sixth release for Vanguard, was written, performed, recorded, produced, and mixed by Laswell, who has dialed back from the top-40 influences that, for some, marred his previous release Landline.
