You May Not Have Much to Say…: …Say It Anyway by Craig Bidiman

dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

Yes, I’ve known Craig for years. Yes, he has slept on my bed before. So who’s going to believe that this is an unbiased review? Nobody? Oh well. I’ll push on, anyway. YMNHMTS is a powerful collection. Craig successfully tore my heart out with the opening essay, “I Feared My Father Weak” and from then on, continued to pound on it with a hammer until it was a small black pulp. The essays and stories are the real stars of this collection, but as a long time listener of another musician and Fragile Bird, I found a new light in these songs. When you strip away the accompanying music, and it’s just you and the words, it takes on a different, more naked feeling. Thank you for exposing yourself to me, Craig. I love you.
