Taken from brand new album After the Crossing, “Good Samaritans” is the current single from Dutch artist Harry Kappen. The song is the latest from a line of remarkable singles such as “Distant Shore” and “Balance“, and it highlights Harry’s ability to create an intimate and cozy atmosphere that is still rooted in raw folk rock.
“Good Samaritans” is an ode and expression of gratitude for the people who selflessly help other whenever they need, taking heed from the biblical parabole and its message. The song unfolds with a lush mixture of electric guitars, country-inspired melodies and remarkable textures that give it a larger-than-life impressionistic quality. After the Crossing is the first album recorded by Harry after moving from the Netherlands to Mexico, and it glistens with a newfound energy that works very well for the artist.
On “Good Samaritans” the singer and songwriter delivers an impressively tender blend of sounds and moods, interwoven by sugary melodies and an ever-increasing sense of admiration. The track is a recognition of our societies’ true heroes: the people who care about each other and do so out of the kindness of their hearts. “they are the true candidates for a future Nobel Prize,” Harry himself says. That feeling of unwavering dedication is beautifully captured by the artist, creating a song that makes you feel good from the very first second it kicks in.
It also highlights Harry’s constant evolution as a songwriter, adding nuance to the story in subtle but impactful ways. In today’s world of social media, appearances and artificial intelligence, we really do need to celebrate genuine human connection with everything we’ve got; and that is exactly what Harry Kappens does on “Good Samaritans”. It’s a pure exercise of empathy that, hopefully, inspires us to do better in our own lives and to those around us.
