Silence not so golden

Sorry I was absent for a few days, I thought I escaped winters Icy Nails, but she decided to hunt me down and beat me with a laryngitis stick.  It was brutal.

So without any further delays here we go.


Song of the week - Punching in a dream by The Naked and famous.



The Song was suggested by Michael from Manchester. 

I initially did not recognise the name of the band when he mentioned the song, so I was off to watch some YouTube.  
The minute the song started I knew what it was, I do not recall hearing the band name before, because who will ever forget naked famous people? 

“Punching in a dream” reminds me of those weird dreams you have that just seem endless and the deeper you venture into it, the more bizarre it becomes.  The music video also has these random funny things happening (like in a dream), where masked dudes chase a girl, while she frantically cannot get away. Then the scary part where lifeless bodies lie on the beach and you wonder between them, scared confused and filled with panic.  

The music strikes me as being happy, with the quirky beats and upbeat tempo. The singer’s voice rips right through your soul with rawness. When you listen closely the words tell a different story to the beat, it speaks of deeper things we all struggle with at times. 

So for now that was my piece of cheese, I WILL BE BACK.
Peace out party People.
