The words of these songs could stand on their own as poems and still carry tremendous weight. The most maddeningly beautiful qualities of Capecelatro’s music lie in his ability to break down the songs so that each piece is just as much a work of art as the whole puzzle. “Christmas Lament” and “Frayed” convey the dense subject matter with somber tones and folk stylings that open the floodgates. Other songs feature haunting piano and sorrowful slide guitar. Songs such as “I Called It First” and “You Were A Carousel” offer alternative rock twists. What’s fascinating and fantastic about the album is its musical diversity. “Hope” features Capecelatro’s finest work, tearjerking from start to finish. Song by song, the singer-songwriter guides the listener along through his struggles, learning to live with his shock and sorrow while still being there for Pam. The story follows Capecelatro’s emotional journey after he learns of his wife Pam’s ovarian cancer diagnosis. It’s a story with a beginning, middle, and end - one filled with philosophical inquiries, gut-wrenching imagery, and a brave documentation of a journey through love’s most harrowing obstacle. What is there to say about an album that so clearly speaks for itself? Guy Capecelatro III’s latest recording, “Hope is the Thing with Feathers,” is more than a collection of music.
