Free Music Notes for Day I Forgot
Free Music Review: Not forgettable to me
Hit: 4 Stars
Multi-talented musician Pete Yorn has called "Day I Forgot" a "feel-good" CD that was kind of a breezy natural extension of his excellent debut album, Musicforthemorningafter. Based on the bright-sounding single "Come Back Home," which is not the best song on the CD but perhaps best encapsulates what he was going for at the time, Yorn deftly hit the lighthearted mood he was striving for. "Day I Forgot" is the result of a year and a half of grueling touring, a maturation in Yorn's songwriting process and the bliss he felt in finally being able to come home and stay put for a while.
Yorn's second effort has a more compact feel than his more sprawling but stellar debut CD. "Crystal Village" is a gorgeous piece, complete with Yorn's typically reflective lyrics that somehow include everybody and convey both sadness and hope. This song and the rougher "Carlos (Don't Let it Go to Your Head)" make for an interesting start to the record, which is hook-laden throughout. The album's middle portion is mid-tempo and at times beautifully mesmerizing, with a snappier feel compared to the first record, in the sense that the songs seem to get to the point quicker. "When You See the Light" is one of Yorn's best songs ever, a joyful number that is impossible not to sing along with at the chorus, similar in tone to "Alive" from Nightcrawler. On the more "punk" side of things, "Burrito" is a fresh, quick blast of ultra-catchy guitar rock energy that probably sounds great live. The peaceful pace and tenor of the sublime "All at Once," meanwhile, makes it seem like Yorn could write a great country album if he so chose.
Song-driven, tuneful, seemingly dedicated to his childhood friends and far from just by-the-numbers rock `n' roll tracks, "Day I Forgot" was the excellent second stepping stone toward Yorn's brutally honest musical odyssey.
Day I Forgot Poster
There's nothing particularly wrong with Pete Yorn's second album. It's just that the effortless power-pop of Day I Forgot is pleasant enough but rarely distinctive or deep enough to demand close, repeated listens. Although it was reportedly recorded in a garage and Yorn's multi-instrumental prowess is often supplemented here by a (fuller) band, the sonic results tend toward airbrushed studio perfection. Somewhere along the line Yorn has picked up an occasional Eddie Vedder vocal affectation. However, since Pearl Jam no longer deigns to write hits, somebody ought to show up on the radio with that voice, and "Come Back Home" could turn just such a trick. The best track here is "Crystal Village," one of those creamy pop confections easy to imagine as a teen TV show theme or prom-night favorite. Worst moment is a tie between a misguided bluesy stomp, "Carlos," and "Burrito," on which Yorn applies Vedder's voice to the tale of a 7-Eleven romance started over a shared micro waved treat. It's just a suggestion, but you may want to take yours to go. --Keith Moerer2003 sophomore release for Columbia finds Pete Yorn once again his own musical architect, writing all of the songs, playing many of the instruments & co-producing with R. Walt Vincent & Scott Litt. Features 19 tracks including 3 bonus tracks, 'Drive Away', '17' & 'Suspicious Minds' (Elvis cover), plus enhanced material featuring 2 tracks, 'Come Back Home' (Video) & 'Making of The Day I Forgot' (Video Footage).
