El Paso

In the song El Paso, folk/indie singer, songwriter and internet sensation Danielle “Ate the Sandwich” Anderson thinks back on the experiences she had in a place that she now has to unfortunately leave behind: El Paso (Texas). In the song, it is clear that the singer is grateful for the experiences she went through in El Paso and is sad to have to leave.

As is common in folk/indie music, which incorporates influences from folk, country and indie music, El Paso is about an ordinary topic that we can all relate to: having been somewhere for some time and then feeling sad that the time has come for us to leave. While indie music is known for its catchy melodies, folk music is known for its acoustic sounds. In El Paso, Danielle manages to bring both of these characteristics together, with a special help from a native Hawaiian instrument, the ukulele.
