Hello, mates...
Today's song is Another John Doe by Thenewno2.
I am aware that most of you probably never heard of this band..
It is an Alternative/Electro/Indie/Psychedelic Rock band originally composed by George Harrison's son, Dhani and Oliver Hecks, with Harrison playing lead guitar and singing lead vocals, and Hecks playing drums and synthesizer - as of mid 2009, the live band features Harrison, Jon Sadoff, Jeremy Faccone, Nick Fyffe, and Frank Zummo.
This particular song, was released as a single, and when I heard it for the first time I imediately liked it, it is dazzling. A very nice piece, indeed, it has an hypnotic feel, the distance between the very intimate vocal and the haze of instrumentation is great. I also really like the subtleness of the composition and the thoughtfulness of the lyrics.
Dhani really sounds like his dad, and you can tell George's influence with the use of the slide, but that's where the similarities end. I really like the fact that it isn't kinda Beatles like, he's got a unique style all his own that in all honesty would've snowballed into a quite successful career whether he was George's son or not.
He looks more like George Harrison than I do

Olivia said that with Dhani up on stage, it looks like George stayed young and we all got old
