Inspired by the touching and heart warming hit TV show ‘This Is Us’, Joel William Harrison brings his brand of folk tunes to draw a cinematic soundtrack that brings the characters and their stories to life through his sounds. The entire piece finds itself line for line related to moments, particular instances in the show while also tying itself to broader imagery and visions about what it means to be alive, what it means to have relationships, and what family means to each of us. The acoustic melody feels innately homely, bringing out such evocative emotion that accentuates each lyric and line that Harrison sings with aching and soothing harmony.
A folk song for a show, unique in inspiration, but universal in its message, ‘This Is Us’ is a perfect complement to the emotions behind the show itself.
