BORNS Not Destined To Do a Fast Fade

He's a one man band. The new video for his "Faded Heart" shows that he's not at all uncomfortable playing around with skeletons. His given name is Garrett Clark Borns but to the music world he's simply BORNS. His future looks dazzlingly bright because not only can he project as a singer his wide range of instrumental zing definitely has his fan base's attention. "Electric Love" had more color than the brightest post storm rainbow. "Faded Heart" doesn't have that much Candy Land rated glitz but the potency of the multi-faceted instruments he plays (those being guitar, piano, and keyboards among others never flags at any moment. The drum beat behind him gives "Faded Heart" an extra kick in the cojones. Meshed together you find yourself having more fun than BORNS should be allowing you to get away with. Doesn't matter though. The journey's an honest God spectacle that no rational person would want to turn away from. As he winds his way through the video's various outfits and scenes, BORNS does let his sensitive side seep through. The lyrics pay testimony to that. A religious perspective starts the show as evidenced by "Galaxy, galaxy, won't you be my consolation? I need someone to kiss my hands and feet and make me more complete, oh yeah. Mysterious universe I know you're unrehearsed but I see the light in your hands. You're the man with the plan, oh yeah. Another searcher hunting down divine answers. BORNS does add some genuine flair to this oft traveled pursuit. The instrumentation sounds like it wouldn't know miserable if it was standing in a police lineup waving "Pick me! Pick me!" The chorus clearly shows BORNS has a vulnerable heart that he doesn't show to just anybody. "Don't you break my faded heart," he pleads. It can be claimed that BORNS has a sound and look all his own. Even as he meanders throughout his playground he maintains his zest. The closing piece tells you that being buried up to his head in sand isn't a deterrent. Just a day in the life. As the music fades we'll remember BORNS as a man worth cheering about. "Faded Heart" has a gigantic heart worth loving.
