āGod damn the man I am.ā Kyle Cox spills new lines of poetry. āLyrics are the most important thing to me.ā My date and I slowly interlock hands. āA little miracle is happening and no one knows about it but us,ā I quietly gush to her ear. It was true. At theĀ moment, most of the room areĀ in drunken chatter. Kyle humbly soares on, through dead-heavy prose and elegant plucks. By the half of the set, the room shut-up. He captured them. I expected no less.
Earlier this year, Kyle put out a five-song EP called Trio & Friends. āRichest Man Aliveā is just a sample of how much he loves his wife and shows it through some of the sweetest fucking love songs that exist.
Itās so easy to believe that what I want is what I need.
You remind me, thatās a lie.
Iām the richest man alive.”Ā
Kyle is the kind of artist that inspires love and introspection. He texted me earlier in the day saying, āPlaying tunes at Willās Pub tonight if youāre in town. Would be fun to see ya!ā Without hesitation, I changed my schedule to make sure I didnāt miss him. Heās one of those artists who are so important to see when in town — you need it more than you know. He inspires me to be a better man, stronger. He swept my lovely date right off her feet, being effortlessly honest, telling stories about what his songs mean to him before he performs each one. His pain is plainly present and heās completely unashamed of it. Heās the kind of artist that will make you glad to be there with whoever youāre there with. Expect theĀ night to likely lead to a late night in your kitchen, dancing to your favorite songs with someone real special, not even completely understanding āwhat is happening,ā but loving every second.
