Paul David’s “Affirmation” converts everyday life into a soulful soundtrack

Once again, Minneapolis-based multi-instrumentalist and composer Paul David Stanko shows that music can be deeply personal and yet universal with his latest single, “Affirmation.” With a polished mix of serving full-time in the food service industry while juggling his creative pursuits, Paul’s sound offers a contradicting sense of normalcy. It’s a song that isn’t content merely to be played but affirms and uplifts, lingering long after the final chord.

His musical history as a multi-instrumentalist is evident in the song’s complex and considered textures, each note leading the listener toward reflection and inspiration. There’s an openness here that feels rare in the music of today, Paul doesn’t go after trends, he creates moments that match life down to its most basic truths.

“Affirmation” comes off as an affirmation that is meek but assertive of self-worth. It is that type of song, the kind that resembles a dialogue with a trusted confidant, inspiring rather than contemplative but not burdensome. Paul, being an accomplished composer, allows the track ample space for both the lyrical content and melody to develop. Paul David Stanko encourages us all on “Affirmation” to sit back, reflect on life, and appreciate the small things.
