Dave Vamfer’s “Tricks of Life Medley” gives a message anyone can use: “sometimes you need a little kick to move on.” The country medley is heavy with saxophone sounds making it sound almost reminiscent of ’90s television theme songs (but in a good way). Although the songs blend into each other pretty seamlessly, it’s hard to tell them apart.
“‘Tricks of Life Medley’ is a medley of 3 songs from a forthcoming album,” said Vamfer in a statement to the press. “I wrote ‘Tricks of Life’ about things that life appears to promise but that you eventually realize aren’t going to materialize. While it is about disappointment, I don’t see [it] as negative; it’s just about reality and dealing with it mentally. You Need A Little Kick’ (to move on) is pretty straightforward. It’s about times when something pushes you forward, sometimes uncomfortably. ‘A Bit of What You Fancy’ is also straightforward. It’s about knowing that it’s ok to treat yourself sometimes.”
