Or rather, it's a song like "Otherside", the latest track from South London producer Mom Tudie, which features singer Giorgia Lo. The song captures that lazy, kicked back feel of a summer afternoon.
|
|
In a song like "Im Traum," where he produced phrases in a silky head voice that faded to falsetto, it sometimes sounded like he was still experimenting with the effects of the microphone.
|
|
There's a lot of scale differences in this song, like being up close to skin, seeing the sun rise, hearing a whisper holding a baby, and making a whole lifetime to that feeling.
|
|
In an age where the president of the United States flattens entire peoples into exaggerated, inaccurate caricatures, a song like "Despacito" could give listeners an appreciation for the cultures and people who created it.

|
Cohen's song — like Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt" vis-a-vis Johnny Cash — has become one of those rare examples of a song completely outshining its author as it's made its way through pop culture.
|
|

|
|
Behind the gooey melodies and sing-along chorus of a song like "Knowing Me, Knowing You" are a set of lyrics that foreshadowed the divorces that would shake up both marriages in the band.
|
|
By starting the album with a song like "Texas Lullaby," Watson sits down and looks the influence of Mexico and the deserts of the southwestern United States on country music straight in the eye.
|
|
First the idea was to have three versions with one song, like the second song on the EP should be like the singer-songwriter version, to comment upon the pop version of the first.
|
|
Strummer, who was often accompanied to the BBC studio by his wife and two daughters, had a way of introducing every song like it was the most important thing the listener would ever hear.

"It started out as this kind of acoustic guitar crooner song, like 30 bpm slower than it is now," explains Danielle, singing the song's opening lines ("Some things are long forgotten") at a snail's pace.
|
|
We shouldn't have a song like "Carolina" that's so well-known or "These Boots" or "Sinners Like Me." Those songs shouldn't be signature songs because they never were on the radio, they never had life.
|
|
We take it for granted that a song like "Options" by NSG is number 11 in the official chart, but not too long ago being west African was, in the words of Skepta, a diss.
|
|
That song, like two other Temptations hits from that period — "I Can't Get Next to You" and "Just My Imagination" (on which Mr. Kendricks sang lead) — reached No. 1 on the Billboard pop singles chart.
|
|
It's easy to see how Glover could grab onto the radical psychedelia of a song like "Hit It and Quit It" and find a comfort and pride in bringing another black person into the world.
|
|
That a song like "You Think I'm Scared" was left off Hüsker Dü's 1983 EP Metal Circus says a lot about the sheer quality and output of the St. Paul, Minnesota band at the time.
|
|
The BBMA stage is probably very similar to what Swift will have to work with when it's time to promote her next album, and with a high energy, fun song like "Me!" the possibilities are endless.
|
|
Eko has also recently worked with Buzzfeed Tasty to produce an interactive cooking series, and its interactive Bob Dylan music video from 2013 for the song "Like a Rolling Stone" is also well worth a watch.
|
|
Making a set list for the festival took on special resonance for the British soul singer Laura Mvula, who said she was delighted to perform a song like "People," which she wrote, to its intended recipients.
|
|
With the chilling accuracy of a song like Prince's "Sign o' the Times" (1987), Ono sings: This is hell in paradise We're all asleep or paralyzed Why are we scared to verbalize Our multi-color dreams?
|
|
One moment he would take you to the core of a dramatically complex song, like "Der Neugierige," when the miller, smitten by a maid at a mill he's come upon, wonders if she returns his feelings.
|
|
" In another sharp turn, the program included motley built-in encores ("three little folk-song-like things," Mr. Finley called them): Copland's "Ching-a-Ring Chaw," Respighi's "My Heart's in the Highlands" and Britten's "The Crocodile.
|
|
J.P. Alessia Cara is a magnificent young singer who sings idea-filled soul with oodles of heart, and a song like "Stay" underscores why dance-music collaborations can be so deadening for singers with signature styles.
|
|
When he pops up on a song like "Bandz a Make Her Dance" or shares his late-night escapades on "Big Amount," you might not get the same social commentary as you would from reading a book.
|
|
If playlists have heightened our investment in a song-based economy, and a song like "Bodak Yellow" has given new meaning to chart relevance and granted Cardi a place in history, then maybe albums don't matter anymore.
|
|
The bass response is strong enough to shake you from your chair on a song like "Caution" by Mariah Carey, while the upper range is bright and brassy on the guitar-heavy "Barcelona Nights" by Ottmar Liebert.
|
|
It definitely would translate into a song like "Astral Plane" because it's like a person looking for a inner-light and trying to believe in that thing that they see inside that isn't visible to anybody else.
|
|
Lawrence: For me, the draw of a Wayne song like this is that he was one of the few rappers who could satisfy my appetite for wanting to hear my favorite artists on the most unsuspecting beats.
|
|
I don't think Grande's a great fit for a song like this — I'd rather hear someone like Rihanna working with this plodding arrangement — but I'm still looking forward to hearing her belt it out on Saturday night.
|
|
A song like "Backseat Freestyle" would be the technical apex in any rapper's career, but thanks to Lamar's skewed genius, it can also be a metatextual meditation on the bewitched shock of adrenaline before a home invasion.
|
|
Featuring Mazzy Star's Hope Sandoval, "Four Walls" is rare among Burial tracks in its vocal continuity — rather than getting chopped up, Sandoval's voice flows through the song like honey, amplifying both its hypnotic quality and its menace.
|
|
I occasionally sat to let a song like "Skeleton Tree" feel internal and alternately I sang along to "The Ship Song" and kissed my lady like I was an anthropomorphic lighter held high and it felt tremendous.
|
|
For every fun, whacky anthem like "Vagina" or "CPR" or the charmingly bonkers "Spiderman Dick," there is a song like "Pedophile," a bitter, urgently rapped narrative about abusive older men who take advantage of underage girls' naïveté.
|
|
The song, like the Daughters' performance, is darkly seductive and alienating at once — a powerful expression of the tensions endured by women in conflict zones, and a reminder that identity often means fighting on multiple battle lines.
|
|
The crush of information we've received this year about sexual misconduct is staggering — enough to knock anyone off their feet; sinking into a song like Lorde's when you're feeling defeated or unmoored is one way to cope.
|
|
Here the NYC trio move through the song like a sun-dazed kid skipping through a field of flowers, speeding up and tripping over, and falling into a synthy swoon, and spinning in giddy circles for the chorus.
|
|
With a song like "To: Achlys" we see something borderline emo with clean, clear vocals, but the song before it, "Isolation in the Land of Milk and Honey," is pure metalcore thrash with guttural vocals and intense drumming.
|
|
The song, like the rest of the album, is rooted in sadness; in this case, it's the result of a vacation gone awry, which also serves as a metaphor for the depressing journey the album takes you on.
|
|
The government further argued that, for an older song like "Taurus," the copyright should be limited to the content of the song's "deposit copy" with the Copyright Office — often a simple sketch of a song's melody and lyrics.
|
|
If Pearl Jam was always a place for Vedder to unpack his dirty laundry, a song like "Lukin," written about a stalker that drove their car into his home, felt as simple and direct as he ever got.
|
|
Since we're all familiar with the melodies and cadence of a song like "All Star," there's an inherent thrill in anticipating or even trying to decode how some beautiful weirdo on the internet managed to fit their version together.
|
|
A song like "Supermoon" is great for backing a short trailer, but something like the epic "Outlier / EOTWS_Variation1" feels more like the sounds that would accompany you after you land your spacecraft on the surface of a new world.
|
|
A song like "Answer to No One," in which Ford proudly raps that he's a "shotgun toter, Republican voter," runs counter to hip-hop's roots as black-protest music, especially when it became the campaign anthem for Rick Perry.
|
|
A song like "Cop Just Out Of Frame" sees Hannah asking himself what he really knows of sacrifice and struggle, bartering with what it means to sing songs of resistance when other people are the recipients of such violence.

"I don't kiss and tell, but the only way a song like that can come across as real is if there's something else going on behind the scenes," Puth, 26, says of the song in the latest Billboard cover story.
|
|
A great song by Solange Knowles or even a song like Mark Ronson's "Uptown Funk" has less predictability than a standard pop song because it draws on jazz music, which, while predictable in its own way, has an entirely different setup.
|
|
And on the other hand, if you're in a good mood, a feel-good song (like, might I suggest, "Dancing Queen") can elevate that mood, or even put you in a happy place when you aren't necessarily feeling all that great.
|
|
Every card has a color and a level — colors represent different parts of a song (like harmonies, rhythms, melody loops, or lead melodies) and show players what will happen when you place that card down in the corresponding colored slot.
|
|
Hearing a song like "Machitikos" in a room full of people headbanging in unison was nothing short of magical, and the moments of listening, eyes closed, as fuzzed out shrieks punctuated the trudging "Inscriptus" were ones I would gladly relive daily.
|
|
So for it to be a big part of a song like that that people are playing all the time is huge, especially because I've been making music like that, and I'm about to release a bunch of music like that.
|
|
I think it's interesting hearing a song like the last one and thinking about why all my dude friends in Nashville play me shit that sounds just like it but I haven't heard a single Patti Smith song in full.
|
|
What was it like recording a sexually charged song like "Je T'Aime … Moi Non Plus," knowing it was written for Gainsbourg's ex, Brigitte Bardot, who did not want their recording of it released because she was married to someone else?
|
|
No longer needing to sell each song like it's his only shot, he delivers the chorus with an understated smirk, like it's no big deal — but good luck getting that melody out of your head after hearing it a few times.
|
|
A song like this, misguided though it may be — Beyoncé sings the chorus, reduced to an unimaginative avatar of dignity and goodness, and Rick Rubin produces what's little more than a glum piano — can only come from a place of savvy.
|
|
Compare all this to a song like Game of Thrones' "The Rains of Castamere," which keeps to a clear folk aesthetic, both lyrically and musically: It's simple, using few instruments, with a naturalistic singer and a song that feels very balladic.
|
|
"Think about it… I think we was flying back on a jet from Africa somewhere and this motherf—er drops a song, like talking s—, calling her all kind of bitches and h—s," Cannon explained on the podcast last week.
|
|
Even the simplest song, like 'The Law,' which is structured on two fundamental chords, has counterpoint lines that are essential, and anybody who even thinks about doing this song and loves the lyrics would have to build around the counterpoint lines.
|
|
Green Day was never a political band – probably not until writing a song like "Welcome To Paradise" – but the biggest education I ever had was [realising] if there's something that you don't agree with, it plants the seed for revolt.
|
|
There's no reason a song like "Love on the Brain," a sweet upbeat love ballad complete with spiky plucked guitar chords and electronic mock organ, shouldn't sound like the cheeriest little ditty ever to steal your heart, but it doesn't.
|
|
So, the other side of the coin is that Brooker chose a cheesy pop song like "Heaven is a Place on Earth" to mark the episode's the most poignant moments as a way to point out the underlying fakeness of it all.
|
|
Award won: Best music, original songFor: "White Nights," for the song "Like You, Like Me"Year: 1986 — 58th Academy AwardsRichie, much like Stevie Wonder, has won a bunch of Grammys (four, significantly less than Wonder), and is famous for his iconic tunes.
|
|
"But once we start playing, I get as emotional as people in the audience when they hear a song like "Love in an Elevator' or 'Don't Wanna Miss a Thing' or 'Walk This Way': It triggers their remembrances of way back when.
|
|
I think that Lil Wayne maybe thrived on pop radio from 2009-2011 above other rappers in part because he was one of the few rappers who could hop on an EDM-R&B-pop song like this and sound at home.
|
|
The duo hit the mainstream writing the Far East Movement song "Like A G6," a perfectly timed post-Ed Banger, autotuned, quasi-rap party anthem, which charted at #1, made the duo in-demand songwriters-for-hire, and pushed them toward potential stardom.
|
|
It wasn't so much her propensity for elaborate costumes, or her knack for transforming a song like Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie" into a club monstrosity, as it was her ability to shed her ego to help others say what they needed to say.
|
|
Many stand and enjoy the song, but the volume of drunken mouths becomes very apparent as a loud hum of conversation buoys the sweet piano-driven sounds of a song like "Out of My Hands" struggles to become the center of attention.
|
|
Occasionally they even break down in the same song — like Block B's "Jackpot," the video for which sees the band posing as wildly varied members of a renegade circus, uniting to kidnap actress Kim Sae-ron into a life of cheerful hedonism.
|
|
Where songs like "Silence" can serve as guidance on how to maneuver through people who could be hiding their malicious intent, a song like "Superstar," which instructs you to triumphantly sing your own praises, is just as crucial a gem to share.
|
|
Like her last album Ruins, these pieces are more song-like than the cosmic drones she spent most of her career making, but they still feel wonderfully ephemeral, like attempts to bottle a morning's mist, knowing you'll never be able to capture it—not exactly.
|
|
Being able to make a song like that, that's just a war cry when we're literally getting killed out in the streets without people even being questioned more than once about it—being able to make a song that people can rally around, it's surreal.
|
|
He'll play a short part of a song live in concert and then record it, this way he can layer each piece to perform a song like "Shape Of You" on his own without a band but make it sound like he has one.
|
|
The album broadened the scope of what a Black woman in pop could do; she could make an album where she brandishes her Bajan patois like a badge of honor with a song like "Work," and she could also cover Tame Impala's psychedelic greatness.
|
|
When his voice became fully his own, in his work of the mid-to-late 1960s that led up to what is probably his greatest song, "Like a Rolling Stone," no one had ever heard pop songs with so many oracular, tumbling words in them.
|
|
And, with the Strauss songs still fresh in the ear, it was fascinating to hear Brahms's "Ophelia-Lieder," folk song-like settings of several of the same Shakespeare texts, performed here in an arrangement for voice and thick-textured string quartet by Aribert Reimann.
|
|
Ratchet is a fun album but even like a fun song like "Make A Scene" people think it's just a little pop song or like whatever but it's about being under twenty-one in America but also being adult, yet still being chastised for being young.
|
|
After all, a song like "We in the Scene" might be awesome even if it were just Wayne rapping for two minutes straight, but the fact that he's preceded by short, swaggering verses from Young Yo and Gudda Gudda makes his arrival all the more satisfying.
|
|
So when I got the track I synced up all of these home videos from when I was a little kid to go along with the song like a music video, and played it for her on Christmas Eve and she was crying her eyes out.
|
|
Earlier this year, he explained to me the thinking—and the challenge—behind that remaster series: Besides the tidbits about the MPC for the gear nerds in there, this story is striking because it points to the devotion that a song like this inspires to this day.
|
|
Their soundtracks evoke times and people and places; the first chords of a song like Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" might bring back memories of riding in my dad's truck, while hearing Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff" reminds me of being powerless and 12 and watching TRL.
|
|
My denial soon subsided when I realized that this had Ed Sheeran written all over it (his rhythmic songwriting tics, heard most obviously on tracks like "You Need Me, I Don't Need You," hover all over this song like a heavy-handed spray of Lynx Africa deodorant).
|
|
There's also plenty of the me-against-the-world cantankerous Z-Ro charm: This is a guy who opens up a song like "Successful" with the lines Y'all thought I was gonna wear them long johns forever / now I'm a chinchilla nigga I'm ready for cold weather.
|
|
Their soundtracks evoke times and people and places; the first chords of a song like Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" might bring back memories of riding in my dad's truck, while hearing Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff" reminds me of being powerless and 12 and watching TRL.
|
|
Isn't it funny how you can try to do your best job in the studio to record something great, but then you stick an incredibly simple song like "I Will Follow You into the Dark" on there and it becomes one of your most beloved songs?
|
|
Throughout, he flirts with grime and different types of dance music, allows Quavo to (possibly unintentionally) point out his own flow-jacking hypocrisies, makes a questionable 9/63 joke, and treats every song like a different postcard from a vacation you'll never be able to afford.
|
|
Later, the company tried to recover, and seed interest, by issuing a prerelease SoundCloud mix of the album, one bold enough to also include a song like "Hey Brother," sung by the bluegrass star Dan Tyminski, and another penned by the avant-gardist Antony Hegarty (now Anohni).
|
|
Some academics and Twitter activists criticized her use of the word "feminist" as a backdrop during her 2014 VMA performance and highlighted the contrast between a song like "Flawless," a triumphant anthem that flaunted her independence, and "Partition," where she sings about trying to be hot for her husband.
|
|
He added Johnny Oduya and Tomas Jurco for a song—and not even a good song, like a Carly Rae Jepsen song, more like a Train song—and now the stupid, annoying, won't-go-away Blackhawks are in prime position to go deep in the playoffs yet again.
|
|
Where Lil Wayne is barely a presence on "Tiffany Blews," here he's basically another instrument, his warped Auto-Tune snaking through the song like a riff dedicated to pointing out how high it is the whole time (in this case: "I stay high above you like the dove do").
|
|
The critical thing for a song like this is that Wayne isn't rapping over a Beyoncé hit because he thinks it will be a savvy crossover grab or something—in fact, without context, you'd have no reason to know this beat was anything other than a niche rap banger.
|
|
For example, a song like '500 Miles' is special to me because I've always wanted to create a song that was mainly acoustic—I'm inspired by The Beatles, Elvis, and Ed Sheeran and anything that gets me close to that kind of sound is an accomplishment to me.
|
|
"You can't relate to any other song like you can to a country song, and that's why I bonded with it so much and that's why it's my favorite genre," Baylee says about why he chose to pursue a career in country as opposed to pop, like his father.
|
|
It is perfectly conceivable that AI could produce a song as good as Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit," for example, and that it ticked all the boxes required to make us feel what a song like that should make us feel—in this case, excited and rebellious, let's say.
|
|
Pop music is rarely thought of as #deep or emotionally rich because of its bright, bubbly context and its big, often artificial-feeling sounds, but with a song like "Lucky," which is literally about the artifice of celebrity and dealing with it, those pop sounds make total sense.
|
|
That song, like many of Lambert's songs, was an original, though the credits had to be updated once someone realized that the brash, snarling verses—"Forget your high society / I'm soakin' it in kerosene"—were sung in a way that evoked "Feel Alright," by the country maverick Steve Earle.
|
|
A song like "Falling Apart," Lilac Everything's bombastic, manic early highlight, tells you all you need to know through Emma's aching lyricism: "Tell me how can I build myself up for love if I just keep on crumbling down?" she asks on the song's desperate, painfully mortal bridge.
|
|
For example: Imagine having a song like "Another One Bites the Dust" at your fingertips and deciding to pair it with a montage of gay bathhouses that foreshadows Mercury's AIDS diagnosis, thus turning the song itself into something deeply offensive and homophobic instead of the fun, jubilant anthem it should be.
|
|
Other times, Cave combines his chief concerns, high drama and undying (at least) love, with a song like "(I'll Love You) Till The End of The World," from the Wim Wenders movie, where Cave combines heavenly choir and spoken word descriptors of a third earthly focus, the end of everything.
|
|
So yeah, having them at the shows, there's definitely the possibility of some clashing of cultures, but overall, the fact that they care about us and appreciate a song like "The War," and don't hate it on principle—because when it comes down to it, it's an anti-war song.
|
|
At the very beginning, when we'd play a song like 'Father,' someone would come up and say, 'Oh my God, that song means so much to me, thank you for writing it,' almost in tears, and then right after that person, someone would come up and be like, 'Holy shit, dude!
|
|
I don't know about anyone else but for me if I really wanted to write a song, like real bad and real quick, I think I could jump in a car and take off down the road and come back in a hundred miles and I'd have a song—maybe an album!
|
|
Songwriter Priscilla Renea, who co-wrote some sexy singles with Ariana Grande's "imagine" and Rihanna's "California King Bed," says we haven't heard another song like it for a reason: because no one else would dare to be that vulnerable and intimate on stage, in the '70s when the track was released or now.
|
|
Certainly, a song like the Stooges' " I Wanna Be Your Dog " didn't share much DNA with a moony anthem like the 5th Dimension's "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In," one of the best-selling singles of 1969, or even with most of the lineup at Woodstock; the Stooges weren't coastal, arty, or conciliatory.
|
|
"As a standalone North Korean performance may breed criticism that the South set the stage for Pyongyang's propaganda, it would be desirable if the two teams perform by turns and then play together a popular song like Arirang for the finale," Cheong said, referring to a folk song shared by the two Koreas.
|
|
In Swift's case, that means the master recording of a song like "You Belong With Me" is the actual record she made in the studio in 2009, and all the copies of the song that exist in the world — on YouTube, on Spotify, on iTunes, on CDs — are copies of that record.
|
|
Lennon's widow, Yoko Ono, compiled his demos and some outtakes from their previous album, Double Fantasy, for Milk and Honey, and while the rawness of Lennon's tracks is harshly juxtaposed against Ono's more polished songs, it's impossible to deny the emotion behind a song like "Grow Old Together," which Lennon demoed in Bermuda in 1980.
|
|
A song like "Tupelo," their passion play about the infernal birth of Elvis Presley, was dragged out, a projection of end-time hurricanes cast upon the high screen behind the band, and Cave was given the (at least seeming) freedom, with a voice that's gained richness and range with age, to explode when ready.
|
|
Take a song like, oh, how about the very next song on the album, "If I Was Your Girlfriend," in which he wonders if maybe his beloved would open up to him more were they platonic friends of the same gender rather than lovers, achieving such a chilling, needy, heartbreaking tone the whole thing shudders with emotion.
|
|
I can associate some of my favorite memories with a specific country song; like that time my family rented an eight-person van for a road trip and sang "Folsom Prison" by Johnny Cash on repeat, or the first time I got homesick at college and listened to Zac Brown Band's "Chicken Fried" until my tears dried.
|
|
Timberlake's Justified remains the gold standard for this kind of album, but it didn't represent a huge departure from the music he was making with NSYNC on Celebrity; he's more adventurous and ambitious on "Cry Me a River" and "Like I Love You" than on a song like "Girlfriend," but they're branches on the same tree.
|
|
" Actually, love in these polysexual poems is the carnal and metaphysical impetus that undoes all measure — "So let's not talk of love the diffuseness of which / Round our heads (that oriole's song) / like on the platforms / Of the subways and at their stations is today defused / As if by the scattering of light rays in a photograph.
|
|
He's been known to strip things back when the mood's taken him as a solo artist too; his 1992 solo album Uh-Oh was pared back almost as a reaction to his immersive foray into Tropicalismo on Rei Momo, with a song like "Angels" as beholden to Lou Reed as it is to—god forbid—the prevalent, concomitant grunge movement.
|
|
While TV writers themselves will occasionally build a scene around a specific song, like The Office's cringeworthy "Life Is a Highway" road trip montage in season five, for the most part, a music supervisor works with a show's producers and writers to come up with song choices that fit scenes, illustrate the emotions of characters, and help create the desired atmosphere.
|
|
But on "Rosemary," a standout from his debut solo album Painkillers, he wants to know just what you've got against the good ol' US of A. The song, like much of the album, showcases his worship of American songwriters like Dylan, Petty, and Springsteen, and although Fallon eschewed some of his go-to lyrical elements on Gaslight's last album, Get Hurt, he's back to embracing them here.
|
|
Yeah. I mean, I've been afraid of my feelings my whole life, but I recently got a girlfriend, and saying how I feel is the best thing I could have ever done in my life, and that's kind of what I was trying to bring into the song, like say how easy it is to just say it, and once it's out there, it's there.
|
|
A song like "Teratoma," for example, where Thompson-King's opera-trained voice seems restricted to a specific octave and forced to maintain a monotone voice in between each choral refrain feels restricted to the theme instead of enhanced by it, whereas her cover of Dolly Parton's "Old Flames Can't Hold a Candle to You" probably would have run wild and free with that treatment.
|
|
Throw in some groan-y dream sequences, an out-of-left field Easter egg or two (that point to an expanding paradigm for the Justice League film and/or films) and more than a few brief, cheeky character introductions — wait'll you hear the Immigrant Song-like guitar riff they play every time you see Wonder Woman in a breastplate — and Batman v Superman is kind of a disaster.
|
|
You know, when you think about the origins of goth, I think a lot of the bands that originated it, they were taking the piss out of it because a lot of those bands were British, even a song like "Bela Lugosi's Dead"... and then you have bands like Alien Sex Fiend or Christian Death, I don't know what all falls under the technical umbrella-ella [pause for effect] of goth.
|
|
Day 214: "Up Up and Away" – Tha Carter IV, 2011 Here's a bonus track to go with all of the week's weed songs, fittingly chosen because it was originally a bonus track on Tha Carter IV. I feel like you can trace the entire careers of guys like Hopsin or Logic back to a Wayne song like this, and it's exactly the kind of rapidfire, masturbatory exercise that totally falls apart in less capable hands.
|
|
Some have claimed that the show's soundtrack is a straight-up homage to John Hughes—the director behind all your fave iconic 1980s films like The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Pretty in Pink—and there are certainly some instances where these references are felt (anchoring a particular song like Lord Huran's "The Night We Met" to a romantic scene at a school dance, for example), but I'm not sure it's as clear cut as that.
|
|
And for a band that's primarily known as a crew of rowdy, scuzzy southern boys, the record has an unexpected emotional heft—the cheesy, pumped-in motorcycle sounds on "Ain't a Sin to Win" are counterbalanced by the gravitas of a song like "Lie Down," in which co-vocalist Jordan Smith lays it all on the line over a bed of reverb that verges way the hell away from whatever you'd expect a band with the name "Diarrhea Planet" to be able to do.
