The tune begins with a peaceful, atmospheric arrangement, creating a sound that is both sensitive\u00a0and strong. The vocal delivery, which is inspired by\u00a0Loreena McKennitt, has a spooky beauty and fills the audio\u00a0spectrum\u00a0with luxurious, deep feelings. The groove is &#8220;fragile&#8221;\u00a0but enveloping, and the inclusion of strings increases the track&#8217;s psychological impact, creating a sense of dark romance. Soft\u00a0electric guitar tones, despite their low placement in the mix, provide an urban feel to the song, giving it a modern touch without &#8220;offending&#8221;\u00a0its classical base. This combination of symphonic sounds and contemporary details turns &#8220;Paint The Walls&#8221; into a highly influencing and engaging listening experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-soundcloud wp-block-embed-soundcloud\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Paint The Walls - From Burke &amp; Hare The Musical by Ben Durkin\" width=\"640\" height=\"400\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?visual=true&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1502093551&#038;show_artwork=true&#038;maxheight=960&#038;maxwidth=640\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GuyFawkesMusical\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GuyFawkesMusical<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Durkin&#8217;s &#8220;Paint The Walls&#8221; is a remarkable work that combines cinematic scale and neoclassical&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26473,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16,5],"tags":[4391,3497,3235],"class_list":["post-26472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-jazz-blues-reviews","category-reviews","tag-ben-durkin","tag-cinematic","tag-neoclassical"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26472","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26472"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26472\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":26474,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26472\/revisions\/26474"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26472"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26472"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26472"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
