MC Paul Barman Gets Personal in “Blessings”

MC Paul Barman’s “Blessings” slides in playful and sharp, like a laid-back stoner friend unexpectedly freestyling to a free jazz loop. Barman brings his usual style—funny, smart, and just a little weird—while keeping it personal. His flow twists and turns, full of quirks that pull you into his world.

Glen Brady (aka DJ Wool) provides production that keeps it left of center but steady, laying down wobbling rhythms that bubble and sway without getting in the way. The hook, “A hug, a tight one/ Feel your heartbeat on the one that I write from”, sits at the heart of it all, simple and warm, cutting through the clever lines like a grounding thread.

His lyrics are packed with big ideas and sly one-liners. Barman moves from heartfelt wishes—“May you and yours have clean water and fresh air”—to surreal images like “an hourglass of tornados.” He’s always switching it up, throwing you between serious thoughts and funny asides. It’s like he’s thinking out loud, but every word counts.

“Blessings” is less about the big gestures and more about the little truths hidden in the words. It’s smart, warm, and a little offbeat—exactly what you’d expect from MC Paul Barman.
