An incredibly meaningful, gentle, and heartwarming piece, ‘This Is What Love Can Feel Like’ sees American troubadour Scott Walker delving into rather unique and fragile storytelling, a tale of how past trauma can often be processed, given enough time and affection. Such potent lyricism is then framed in the most soothing and elegant acoustic pop goodness, the perfect match for Walker’s malleable, magnetic vocals.
Boasting a sharp, acute tone that would fit very well in pop-punk settings, Scott instead indulges in slow-paced, ballad material, initiating an aural and lyrical journey that’s highly personal and intimate, effectively translating a complex, layered issue into a relatable, friendly pop record. As Walker explains: “This song is about a girl who was sexually abused growing up and thus had a very distorted view of what love looked like. This song tells our story of how we met, introducing her to what true love can feel like.”
Hailing from Wichita Falls, Texas, Walker is actually an active duty member in the US Air Force. Thankfully, he still has the time to make art; in fact, his production on ‘This Is What Love Can Feel Like’ is truly well-crafted, even more impressive when considering that Scott did it by himself. He’s certainly growing as an artist and songwriter.
