A must-see.

Don’t Be FooledHugh Dillon

It’s a track marked by a husky, compelling vocal that seems to say, “Don’t be fooled,” set against a simple piano tone with just a few keys struck, an electric guitar weaving a quiet melody, and a steady, monotonous drum rhythm.

Since it’s April Fools’ Day, using it as background music for games like poker—where bluffing and mind games are key—could heighten the tension and make things more exciting.
