Musical artist Charlie Burg makes music befitting autobiographical films or coming-of-age flicks of the Luca Guadagnino kind. There is a tripping adolescence radiating from his melodies and you feel self-supporting after having fallen. Burg's delicious cover of Cage The Elephant's "Cigarette Daydreams" arrives to meet nothing but that expectation.
Given a song that seemingly looks into the pain of searching for identity after failed love, Charlie's rendition gives off a sense of love between two married people forged across generations. His arrangement differs both heavily and subtly, truly making the song appear as his own. He only changes one word in the first and second verses as a nod to this still beating bond. Burg goes by the book from verse and pre-chorus to chorus, but by [chorus 2] he redacts a few of the lyrics to leave a more open section for his visiting bridge of virtuous melodies.
Charlie Burg simplifies the production as well. There are no drums or keys. There aren't even harmonizing guitars. His "Cigarette Daydreams" shows up with a sheltered guitar riff chalked with emphasized chords. The "Two, Moonlight" artist's flushed melodies and overall harmless vocals sound like a love language of care and time spent. Personally, Charlie Burg's "Cigarette Daydreams" cover damns me into longing to be amid the coruscating splendor of someone I am in love with.
And I enjoy every second of it.
