N-No Time Soon. Some people were destined to sing. I certainly can’t see Cee-Lo Green doing anything but crooning his heart out. I enjoy all Gnarls Barkley pieces, but this one in particular struck me because I desperately needed an “n” song. At the beginning of the piece, the acoustic guitar is particularly effective. The song then cascades into a marvelous dissonance between Green and the back-up singers. No space in the song is wasted, and every note and sound effect has a particular piece to contribute to the entire aural experience. Listening to this song, I can’t help but reflect on my husband’s upcoming training and deployment. I must continually reassure myself that though he will be far away, my greatest fears for him will happen no time soon.
And I carry this, it’s heavy. And I miss you already…
Gnarls Barkley, “No Time Soon,” The Odd Couple, 2008
