Why I like this song:
Following on from last week, here's another album that I've been meaning to get around. And, like last week, it was a gem with the standout track coming at the end of the album. Unlike last week however, this left the opposite impression.
If I Appear Missing was about getting up and pushing forward, this is the sound of a rebirth: Triumphant, wonderous, heralding a new dawn, leaving the cradle of Earth and roaring off into space (particularly during the climax).
But really, this song is a case of being in the right place at the right time: I was going though a bad time prior to hearing this (if the last few posts are some indication) but when I did, I found it to the the pick me up I needed. And that's what music should do.
The phoenix has risen again....
