David Gagliardi (ex-Laura) has written a very intense tune about emotional collapse, in which the songwriter is laid bare, both literally and figuratively. Musically, Way To Keep Warm is a slow brew of piano and plucked guitar notes, careful layers that are subtle and atmospheric, particularly in contrast to David’s naked, keening voice.
