His songs are heart wrenching stories outlined by divine melodies, intelligent and hooky guitar lines set in subtly epic productions with Luke Pickett’s unique soaring vocals and signature falsetto. This young man has a way of spinning a classic love tale into an über-romantic twisted musical sonnet. Luke Pickett is the troubadour sent back from the future to wake us up from the banality of shoe-gazing retro hippies.
Citing Jeff Buckley, Michael Jackson, and Prince as influences, this 22 year old’s sound is somewhat hard to pin down. It’s labeled Acoustic/Alternative/R&B, but Luke Pickett’s music is clearly the result of a wide range of influences.
Luke has previously fronted post-hardcore band Her Words Kill.

Luke Pickett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You're bitter because you lost out, so why don't you sit this one out? It's better if you let go than taking the easy way home.
I'm at your window pulling the blinds down. I'm passing the flowers and cupping the tear jar.
You're bitter because you lost out, so why don't you sit this one out? It's better if you let go than taking the easy way home.
Bare your soul to the world
In the opening lines of Luke Pickett's song Dream Love Cure, the singer is expressing their desperation to connect with someone they care about who is going through a difficult time. The image of them standing outside the person's window, pouring their heart out, represents their willingness to go to great lengths to show their support. They are waiting for the person to cry, to release the emotions that have overwhelmed them, and hoping that they can be there to offer comfort and help.
The repeated lines "You're bitter because you lost out, so why don't you sit this one out? It's better if you let go than taking the easy way home," suggest that the person in question may be struggling with a sense of defeat or disappointment. The singer is urging them to step back from their pain and try to find a way to heal. The phrase "taking the easy way home" could be interpreted as giving up, or resorting to self-destructive habits, rather than confronting and working through their issues.
The final lines, "Bare your soul to us all. Tears make it seem so bold / Bare your soul to the world," encourage the listener to be brave and share their true feelings with others. The vulnerability and honesty that comes with showing emotion is powerful, and the singer is encouraging the person to use their pain as a way to connect with others and make a difference in the world. The song is ultimately about the power of connection and empathy in the face of hardship.

His somber voice takes me places and these lyrics are delicious. So sad and yet so lovely.
