Rev’s DJ pick of the week is “Real Good Love” by Pete Yorn!
Pete Yorn is back with another catchy summer hit. With a music career spanning over 20 years, Pete Yorn continues to grow his audience and be a prominent name within the industry. His latest single “Real Good Love”, released in June of 2024, showcases his melodic songwriting and powerful lyricism.
Since his breakout musicforthemorningafter in 2001, Pete Yorn has built up a reputation as one of the greatest songwriters of his generation. The New Jersey native has noted BritPop such as the Smiths, Oasis, the Cure, Stone Roses, and fellow New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen as some of his biggest inspirations in his earlier years. Yorn has been able to create a unique sound throughout his career and decided to take a softer approach on his latest single.
To describe the song in a single word, it would be “intimate”. Yorn’s vocals wrap around your ears as he tells a beautiful message centered around experiencing love. He says “Sometimes we get high / Sometimes we get low” meaning there are always ups and downs of love and life. Moreover, his message revolves around the idea that true, real love is a hard thing to find. As the song continues, other instruments grow around the gentle acoustic guitar creating a rich, warm sound.
Overall, “Real Good Love” speaks about an idea all of us can relate to, experiencing love. His message encourages listeners to take a step back and reflect on their own life. It’s exciting to see where Yorn will go next after this release.
