...and just when I'm feeling low - lower than I have for weeks - Simon sends me through the video for the new Bitter Springs single.
Goddamn, and all of a sudden I'm back into the reason why I am who I am once again. Pop music. Fucking glorious bittersweet iridescent shining glowing inspirational pop music. 'And Even Now', the 10th single from Bitter Springs - and trust me, they've had more than their fair share of unsung glory over the years - is a melancholy, string-laden, articulate, tears-choked epic, a killer pop song pure and simple: especially for anyone reared on the lineage of Godard, Rowland, Wylie. But you don't need to know all that. You just need to go watch and listen, and keep aware, and believe.
"And even now/There's something here/That brings me back/And makes me care/The freedom of movement/The freedom of speech/Some of us practice/What others just preach"
'And Even Now'
A new Bitter Springs Single .
ReplyDeleteBritains best songwriter and I'll stand on Morrissey's Coffee table and tell him so.
AND EVEN NOW ..the satire remains, it has great popping Bass and is pure pop heaven 7 minutes of it..how this band has remained under the radar is unbeleivable when so much dross floats on the surface , I say dive down into the Bitter Springs .
