A boisterous and lively piece of bluesly folk rock, Mike Snodgrass’ ‘It Wasn’t Me, It Was You’ is just an absolute delight to dance around to. The song discusses a relationship with a compulsive liar who continually deceives and take the narrator out for a ride whenever they can. Finally, he decides he’s had enough and breaks it off with a clever play on words realising that the problems in this relationship wasn’t him, it was her.
There’s a clear Dave Matthews Band influence on this record, with Snodgrass sounding just as bit as jovial and in sync with his harmonic and flowing band. It’s immediately obvious that Mike Snodgrass isn’t best enjoyed on mere headphones. It’s an experience that would be magnified live, as you feel the enthusiasm exuding from every bit of the arrangement and their collective joy in synthesizing it all together.
A joyous ride, loaded with warmth and energy in this good riddance breakup track to help you carry on with optimism and exuberance.
