Luke Jackson is without a doubt a lyrical genius, wise beyond his young years. His latest song Kings Of The School Bus is worded perfectly and describes in wonderful detail kids riding on a school bus. Every line of this acoustic rock/folk song rings so true. Luke hits the nail firmly on the head with every word he sings in this ode to life on a school bus riding to and from school every day. He notes how annoying the other kids can be and how the bus driver struggles to cope. The song is fairly upbeat throughout but three quarters of the way through the song picks up pace quite dramatically before slowing back to the original pace for the remainder of the song. Luke’s vocals are engaging throughout this charming song. There is plenty of attitude in this song and this filters through in Luke’s edgy vocal style. His vocals have a raw quality and easily slip under the listener’s skin making them want to hear more.
Just Like You is another lyrically driven song from Luke Jackson. A much slower song than a lot of Luke’s other songs this song really packs a punch with its down to earth, brutally honest lyrics that will resonate with many listeners. Luke’s vocals are haunting and gentle throughout. This song really highlights Luke’s vocal talents. The backing music is sparse, which adds to the atmosphere of the song stepping up a gear very occasionally. With his clever lyrics Luke paints a rather bleak world but this is our world, his lyrics effortlessly constructing a clear image of the world we live in today. Luke’s writing talents really shine here.
