Unfolding from a yearning, mellow acoustical vibe into a shimmering, anthemic finale, “You’ll Be Something” is a memorable track released today from Tango Alpha Tango, a band from Portland, OR. The primary initial refrain exudes a melancholic lingering, speaking of loss — “you’ll be something to somebody someday I can see / if you’re gonna spend your love don’t waste a cent on me.” The quaint, guitar-set backdrop accompanies the vocal melody with warmness. Past the two-minute mark, a shimmering backing evolves into doses of atmospheric guitar and haunting acoustics, leading into a firmly satisfying conclusion.
Per the band, the track “speaks to love and loss and the fragility of relationship. A jarring juxtaposition between the mundanity of familiarity and the consequence of passion.”
