“Mirrors” by Corey Crumpacker– A Song Feature


     The intro of “Mirrors” isn’t strikingly complicated, but it is attention-grabbing. A steady-beat kick drum supports the combination of acoustic and electric. The acoustic guitar belongs of Corey Crumpacker, a Rocker based in Austin, Texas. The electric features sustained notes. But the entrance of the vocals shows that the attractiveness of “Mirrors” is not limited to its intro. The passion in the voice of Crumpacker embraces the distress in the lyrics.
 
     Vocally, the highlight is the harmonization that begins at 1:31. The harmony multiples the vocal resonance. The instrumental highlight is the guitar solo that begins at 2:41. And the lyrical highlight is the intelligent, insightful and poetic description:
 
It was a blurry-eyed night
Tried to start a fight with a guilty conscious
Along in the dark
So, I throw the first punch
But it hits me back
Saying “Son, you don’t deserve a touch of love.”
Don’t tell me now that you’re afraid
This beer holds itself, without your aid
 
      Corey Crumpacker is now in Texas, after graduating from Florida State University’s College of Motion Picture Arts. The official video for “Mirrors” was produced by Backstory, but directed and edited by Crumpacker. The song is from the EP “Royal Blood.”
