Hot on the heels of Peter Spencer’s “Beyond the Demon Lover,” Scott Wetzel of the Northenders – also a new face to Ball of Wax – brings us yet another finger-picked folk song, which works beautifully as a follow-up to the Peter’s tune, both musically and thematically. Where that song looks away from the horror of our current world and toward a better place, “Anyhow” gazes unflinchingly upon the many woes plaguing us all, ending each verse of all-too-familiar horrors large and small with “I’m gonna love you anyhow.” The chorus goes as far as imagining the very end of the world, with no beyond in site, and yet still that love persists. “Anyhow” serves as an important reminder to those of us with love in our lives that this is the world we’ve got, and we’re lucky to have each other in it.
