Only Son!

I was introduced to Only Son when I went to a Regina Spektor concert in November of last year. He was the opening act, and I, like most of the crowd, had never heard of him.
From the minute he walked on stage you felt his charm, his presence. And oh my God was he fun! This guy (his name is Jack Dishel) not only has a great ear for melody and lyrics, but knows how to make an audience happy.
He played half of his set with his acoustic guitar, then told us all that since he doesn't have a band that he'd play the rest of his set with his i-pod! It was great! the background would play, and he'd sit there with his guitar and sing. The best part was that his i-pod would talk to him during the show. . .and strike up conversation with the audience. I remember my friend Sasha just talking to Jack from her seat. . .it was really cool. This guy is fun, and has amazing talent!



His songs are mostly of a very fun light rock, or soft rock genre. His voice is so smooth, and carefree. His knack for the perfect catchy melody that you never tire of is unparalleled.
Another thing that caught me was when he came back on stage during Regina's set, and beat boxed the rhythm to her song "Hotel Song" while she sang a capella. It was awesome!

So today I'm going to give you two videos. One, his music video for his song "My Museum", and two, a live take of him beat boxing for Regina's "Hotel Song".
Enjoy and please check out his CD "The Drop To The Top", and his myspace: http://myspace.com/only_son!

Only Son's "My Museum"

My Museum Lyrics:

You're in my museum
You're in the biggest room there is
Under the thickest glass there is
Sharing my saddest laugh.

You're in my museum
You're in the biggest room there is
Under the thickest glass there is
Sharing my saddest laugh.

But you remind me of a friend, though
I met him falling out a window
We were both falling real slow
We had some time to talk, you know?
And he's a typical offender
A professional pretender
On a life long bender
He thinks it makes him friendlier.

So.Every day
Feels the same
Fading in a frame.

You're in my museum
Up on the screen repeating lines
Dressed up as everybody else
A different echo every time.

You're in my museum
Up on the screen repeating lines
Collecting accidents like treasures
Buried under time.

But you remind me of a friend, though
I met him falling out a window
We were both falling real slow
We had some time to talk, you know?
And he's a typical offender
A professional pretender
On a life long bender
He says it makes him friendlier.

So.Every day
Feels the same
Fading in a frame.
