The centrepiece of JCCutter in We Live Through It All is a collection of quiet steadiness, taken off the album Perspectives. It mingles round like solid ground that has been shaken by the very harsh waters, gives comfort without making the reality of all that has been gone through any less true. This is an experience based song that is grounded on resilience which has been achieved as opposed to being conceived.
Basing his sound on the traditions of soft-rock and country, the New Mexico songwriter builds a close, yet expansive sound. The conversation of the guitar and the violin is what it can be described as an emotional pulse of the song, swelling up and down with cinematic grace, as the lights are setting in the wide landscape. It is the kind of composition that can invite you to a state of calm and listen to yourself and to assess.
It is the understanding in the song that stays on. Learning through years of tourism of the cyclones and through his own turmoil, JCCutter does not use platitudes about power. Instead, the song is full of compassion - the portrayal of a person standing beside you and not preaching. His singing is both heartfelt and serious at the same time, full of optimism and sincerity.
The sound is well-considered, softening the edges without taking away the emotional tones of the song. Each transition is intentional, letting the main emotion flow unnaturally. There is nothing imposed upon and nothing becomes exaggerated. We Live Through It All finally represents the concept that not to be changed, but to be altered by what comes on our way. It is an unconscious confirmation to song, to which you remain long after the last note has cleared away.
