Paul Thorn’s new album ‘Life is Just a Vapor’ (out February 21 via Thirty Tigers) explores life’s fleeting nature, inspired by a scripture from James 4:14. Raised as the son of a Pentecostal preacher, Thorn contemplates life’s transience, urging listeners to live fully and enjoy the present.
Songs like “Tough Times Don’t Last” encourage resilience, while “Geraldine and Ricky” offers a tongue-in-cheek commentary on toxic relationships. Thorn’s humor and empathy shine through his music, making it both relatable and uplifting.
A tender plea for connection, the song invites a friend to share their pain and find solace in understanding. With her trademark smoky vocals, Liz reaches out with raw emotion, demonstrating her incredible range and vulnerability.
