I stumbled upon a Conor Mason song entitled Standstill by chance on Hype Machine and instantly fell in love. For some reason, I couldn't find the track on YouTube but found other tracks including the one featured in this entry. Words is without a doubt, one of the best songs I've heard in a while. It's refreshing, melodic, emotional and everything else I look for in a song. It starts off slow and melodramatic then suddenly, it throws you off with a lighthearted, country-sounding chorus. After the chorus, it leaves you curious as to what will happen next. The beat that comes after is a nice surprise, and the bridge is just beautiful. Not to mention, his voice sounds like a gentle whisper. It's so soft and soothing, as if he was lulling me to sleep. Goodness me, this man is amazing. I've only heard Words, Standstill and one other track called Misunderstood but I'm already sold. The songs are part of his newly released album, Standstill. It was released last March under Armellodie Records and is actually his third album. Also, Conor Mason is apparently Irish which I could not tell from the songs I've heard so far. Sounded more like he came from the US, maybe because I hear bits of country in some parts of his songs. In any case, I'm absolutely blown away. Listen to the song and tell me I'm right. Haha! Enjoy!
