The Chill of Recognition: Dusty Edinger's "Just Like Me"

When "Just Like Me" begins playing, the room gets colder because of the song's emotional impact. Before you understand it, you have already felt it. There is a similarity to how you may feel when the kitchen is filled with the smell of metal and rotten beer, and you are reminded of the things you forgot about last week, after the refrigerator has turned on at about 2 a.m. Dusty Edinger's artistry has always come from an area that most of us can't relate to, but there's something about this track that tells me that Dusty Edinger was able to finally let go and live his life without concern about what happened to those items he had regrettably put in the refrigerator.

Listen closely to the sounds that come from the opening bars of "Just Like Me" and you can hear how Dusty Edinger was not completely sure of what he was trying to accomplish. It was like Dusty Edinger was aware of the trapdoor beneath his feet and had chosen to step off of it with absolute confidence. His voice isn't trying to impress anyone, it sounds like he's simply telling a story. It has a slight edge to it, but there is also an element of lightheartedness about it. He is looking at the reflection of himself in the gas station bathroom mirror and laughing at the thought that he could go back to being that guy again.

Once it has faded, you aren't pondering all the usual promotional strategies. Instead of constantly thinking about what your favorite artist is doing next, you sit quietly & wait for the arrival of their next piece of music. Musicians like this never announce a future release; they simply send out their vibrations through music to let people know what's coming down the pike, whether you want it or not. Once you hear those vibrations & tune them into your head, you know that another signal is coming from them sooner than you might think.
