LISTEN: We Can't Enjoy Ourselves - "Charming Man"

We Can't Enjoy Ourselves - "Charming Man"


In an honest tone, a man sings with aching heart to a girl that means more than anything to him. He makes no apologies for who he is, but insists there's more to him than she knows. It's about the dance between man and woman, one driven by love and affection. Supported by a pleasant round of doo wop back-up vocals and innocent '50s charm, this "Charming Man" keeps a certain amount of his grit with a bright, twangy chord progression that was born in a garage. It's a golden tune that plays with a vibrant spirit; like James Dean in "Rebel Without A Cause," there's a great deal of emotional complexity beneath its appealing exterior.

We Can't Enjoy Ourselves, from what I've gathered, is the brainchild of NY-based Giovanni Saldarriaga.

"Charming Man" is from We Can't Enjoy Ourselves' 7-track album One Belongs Here More Than You. Listen to the whole thing and download it (for FREE) after the jump. The only unfortunate piece of news is that it came out all the way back in July of last year -- meaning we all overlooked it. It's slowly becoming a new favorite of mine. I say slowly because I'm only three tracks into it. It runs the gamut of rock 'n' roll and its subgenres. Check it.
