Ball of Wax 43 Songs: Thomas Pearo – We’ll Be OK

. . . and then sometimes you just want something simple and beautiful. Vermonter Thomas Pearo‘s looped guitar piece “We’ll Be OK” makes for a lovely bit of musical sorbet (and I mean that absolutely as a good thing) after the rich, giddy noise of the preceding couple tracks, easing us into our initial descent to the end of this volume (to horribly mix and torture a couple of metaphors). According to Thomas, “We’ll Be OK” has its origins in a sad and dark period of his life, but he’s taken that darkness and turned it to light with the easy, loping, peaceful nature of this piece. It’s almost enough to make you think, despite the ample evidence to the contrary, that we will be OK. Almost.
