Bill Abernathy - More Than Meets the Eye
Bill Abernathy is a country-rock musician from Kansas City, Missouri who has been writing songs since his early teens. As a businessman, his musical career took a pause as life got in the way and he was raising children. As his children grew older and more independent, Abernathy picked up his guitar and began writing songs again with his new life perspectives and a deeper sense of wisdom found from his new experiences. Bill Abernathy is a lyrics-focused musician, having written songs like “Whiskey Road” that carry a catchy beat and groove but most importantly tell a story. Today we’re taking a look at Abernathy’s new addition to his catalog: “More Than Meets the Eye.”
“There’s so much more than meets the eye …”
“More Than Meets the Eye” is a musical piece that completely encapsulates the anger that comes from being betrayed by those who are meant to serve and protect you. The lyrics of “More Than Meets the Eye” come as a pleasant surprise following a heavy instrumental intro. The song quickly drifts into a quiet melodic tune as Abernathy begins describing a scene of leaders making the life of those they lead worse by compromising their freedoms through corruption. After dropping these lyrical bombs, an instrumental comes back and we are reminded that this isn’t just a story we’re being told, but an epic that is laced with instrumentals that drive the listener and keeps us waiting for the next line.
“More Than Meets the Eye” is a song that sweats passion. It’s hard not to feel the energy Abernathy gives off by hearing how he delivers the vocals. If you enjoy music with lyrics that tell a story and an instrumental with a rock-solid backbone to carry any tune you may enjoy this and many more of Bill’s work. You can catch Bill Abernathy on his website, Facebook and Twitter.
“Sometimes life is good to you and gives you a second chance. In my youth I walked away from music for a myriad of personal reasons. Now, I've now been given a second chance to pursue this thing we love called music, and I am really enjoying the ride!” - Bill Abernathy
