Rapid Fingerings and Bitter Poetry
“Yesteryear†is a very impressive singer-songwriter track with rapid-fire, rhythmic guitar fingerings. Homesick is a talented songwriter, and an even more talented guitarist. The song is gritty, opening with the lines: “And I’ve been here so many fucking times,†and continuing with a bitter hip sensibility that engages and magnetizes. Through it all, he never once loses control over his picking, which gives the entire song a complex energy that makes it sound like a good bit more than a single singer playing on a single instrument.
