Afraid of Nothing – Harrison Whitford
live alone in a rented mansion
here in laurel canyon
I would like you to come visit me
we could go swimming
in the ray of sunshine
I love watching you
it is easy to do
in the sun I like to watch you
it is easy to do

“A soothing and tranquil alternative album filled with emotional turbulence and existential searching, Afraid of nothing is, in a word, breathtaking,” the writer previously wrote in Atwood magazineof the 2021 Albums of the Year feature. “It’s an enviable and laudable reintroduction to Harrison Whitford, who has re-emerged this fall with his own multi-faceted artistry in full bloom.”

After 2018 Afraid of everything, Afraid of nothing feels familiar and comfortable: Whitford’s words take us deep into his mind, while his sparse but lively instrumental work feels equally close and within reach. As understated and understated as it is rich and colorful, this album offers solace and catharsis: the inspiration of an exposed soul.

Nowhere does this exhibition of the soul shine brighter than on the album’s penultimate closing track, “Secret Garden.”

A fitting finale (followed only by the cinematic instrumental “The End”), “Secret Garden” showcases Harrison Whitford’s ability to mix hauntingly subtle touch with undeniably and irresistibly catchy melodies. It’s a soft, expansive indie folk song that wraps the ears like a blanket might the body, enveloping us, warming us and drawing us deep into the world of Whitford.

“It’s the only love song I’ve ever written that I haven’t hated,” Whitford said. Atwood magazine in a special track-by-track feature released last year. “The character of the song is a rich, lonely man who has nothing to do but pine for someone from his huge, obnoxious mansion, which brings him no joy if it’s without someone.” one to share it with.” We hear this story play out words full of longing and possibility, laced with a certain substantial sadness:

we could go sit in the secret garden
it’s right next to the guest apartment
we could go watch your favorite movie
there is a popcorn machine and a big screen
in the dark i like to watch you
it is easy to do
in the dark i like to watch you
it is easy to do

Granted, “Secret Garden” is an unlikely soundtrack to a psychological horror film, but director Michael Erik Nikolla makes it work – striking a balance between horror and levity, and in turn crafting a short visual that leaves viewers satisfied, albeit with a few unanswered. questions and a healthy minimum of mystery.

As Whitford himself explains, “Inspired by the brilliantdirected by Michael Erik Nikolla and written by myself and Jacob Jeffries, this video follows me as I hate how easily Jacob Jeffries writes the melody in his head, and ends up taking sinister and murderous action.

When it comes to envying musical writing, one cannot help but think of 18th century composers Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Antonio Salieri; how the two were (perceived as) rivals to the general public and scholars in their time, and how rumors spread of Mozart’s murder at the hands of Salieri after the former’s death in 1791. In “Secret Garden” , we watch a frustrated Whitford struggle with his own writer’s block, venting his emotions first on his instruments – furiously playing drums and banging piano – until he has a shovel in his hand, then, Jeffries’ lyric sheet on his bed. Director Nikolla plays with the viewers perspective, giving us only one piece of the puzzle so our imaginations can run wild and wild.

and the curtains are blue and the walls are red
I would like to know where I was
so you can come here and stay awhile

it is easy to do
in the sun I like to watch you
it is easy to do
in the sun I like to watch you
