Song title: Joker
Artist: Soulsavers
Year: 2015
Why I like this song:
Lately I've been listening to the Soulsavers album Kubrick.
Now this was high concept: An album where every song is about a character from a movie by director Stanley Kubrick. This one being about Joker from Full Metal Jacket.
Needless to say, the film geek in me was already keen. And as it happens, the songs were well produced and inventive.
But does it live up to it's ambitious concept? Well it's an interpretation of someone else's work yes and it certainly is effective but does it succeed? I guess that's a matter of perspective...
