“You Come To Me” by Mark Andrew Hansen
There are songs that have quality written all over them, and “You Come To Me” by Mark Andrew Hansen is one of them. As you listen, so many influences run through your mind, but one that very few people will recognize is the British group The River Detectives from the late ’80s. I mean this as high praise — they are one of my all-time favorites.
Hansen’s offering is a singer-songwriter gem with terrific orchestration and heartfelt vocals. There isn’t much going on arrangement-wise, but then again, the balance of everything here is perfect. I like the way the song slowly develops toward its understated yet effective crescendo. And that’s the key thing in folk-pop, isn’t it? To build a song that begins with just an acoustic guitar into something that sounds full without overproducing it. Hansen succeeds admirably.
“You Come To Me” is a must-hear for anyone who appreciates quality folk-pop, including anyone with a taste for such legends as Nick Drake, Gene Clark and, yes, you guessed it, The River Detectives.
