Choon of the Month: Revolution


Original video located here. Accessed 28th April 2010

Song Title: Revolution

Artist: John Butler Trio

Year: 2010

Why I like this song:

I've never been a big fan of John Butler. Sure he's a great guitarist and his band do the jamming well, but i always felt that John isn't the best lyricist with some of them ranging from clumsy to coming across as a first draft.

Not so with this one: As a call to arms, it is indeed effective. John sounds indeed passionate and sings with the utmost conviction, adding to the strengths of the trio with their instrumentation. Particular note must go to the build and eventual climax ("Take back...."), Sure the lyrics are still clumsy in places but here, John delivers the goods
