This Song Rocks: Getting Away With It


Original video located here. Accessed 19th July 2021

Song title: Getting Away With It

Artist: James

Year: 2001

Why I like this song:

As established previously, i really like songs that build up. And this is one of them. But what particularly strikes me is just how desperate this song comes across. I have never heard a song that evokes such a desperate situation and that's what makes it so compelling

A lot songs in the history of popular music tend to play up the whole image of 'unrepentant outlaw' (see: AC/DC's 'Highway to Hell') but this song, i feel, presents an antithesis to such an image.
