Maverick Sabre // I Used To Have It All

Maverick Sabre released his debut album ‘Lonely Are The Brave’ today, and man is it good. I don’t just mean good as in good - I mean good as in this could well end up being my album of 2012. It’s just that ~~good~~ amazing.

‘I Used To Have It All’ is track number nine on the album, and an early highlight among fifteen great songs. Maverick covers issues such as sectarianism, materialism and racism in the lyrics, which are particularly relatable considering that he’s from Ireland and me being Northern Irish.

Backed by an organ, horns, bass and drums, everything in this song works so well together. It all creates this sense of melancholy and bleakness - yet there’s still a glimmer of hope in there. However all of this is irrelevant when you consider Maverick’s voice. It’s just so unique, so soulful. A real breath of fresh air in this cold world.

I haven’t been able to post as much in the past week due to computer issues, but rest assured now that that’s fixed I’ll be posting plenty more tracks from ‘Lonely Are The Brave’. Check the album out, I promise you won’t regret it.
