re: Rate the song above you, pt2

Father John Misty - Funtimes in Babylon

---

Never heard of him before... not really my style but I can appreciate it. Interesting combination of folk, melancholy, and dark with lyrics like:

Before they put me to work in a government camp
Before they do my face up like a corpse and say "get up and dance"
Before the beast comes looking for last year's rent

3.5/5, would listen again.

Black Pistol Fire - Hope In Hell

1/5... to be fair, I'm prob the wrong person to rate that.. definitely not my cup of tea.. a 1 for the effort..

Surf City - Free the City

A great band out of NZ... although I believe they called it quits a few years back..

I'll get a little weird... Kent - Sundance Kid Heads up, not in english.

---

3.3/5

Not my cup of tea, but I could listen to a full album on a road trip. Helped to get a lyrics translation. Nice tempo with a melodic beat, a full spectrum mix of bass, including some punch, and a good mix of strings versus neutrally mixed electronics. More importantly the lyrics had that resonating internally feel that transcend language.



next up: Paul Gilbert - Blues For Rabbit - (instrumental warning)

4/5 fun song and the guys all look like real folk. Also no need to add warnings for it being instrumental lol.

Here’s another without singing that I love (Inspired by the Mogwai thread, I’ve been listening to them all morning)

Mogwai - Helicon 1

5/5 Great song! It's got the feel of "Low Rider" by WAR with a Steve Miller vocal.

"Gimme Shelter" - New Model Army with Tom Jones

Very strong modern rock ballad with equally strong vocals from both leads. One of those good 'i can feel it' songs when your girlfriend breaks up with you.
Cons- overplayed on radio; Amy lee is a love it or hate it type feature.
