This song moves well, but it's NOT a happy song. This semi-funky, Latin-ish groove, with a timbale/snare mix, seemed to capture the mood. |
|
Recorded in a smoky bar in Boston. |
|
7+7+2=16?? Playing with numbers can spice up a groove; the key is to make people feel the music, not the math. |
|
No spectacular drumming here, but I love the 'feel' of this song. |
|
Power-pop, with an 80s feel (not too surprising, considering it was recorded in the 80s!!) |
|
This song has the movement and energy of acoustic rock, and the edge of electric rock. The drum part tries to capture the best of both worlds. |
|
This groove was born in Motown, went to school with the Beatles, and spent too much time hanging around street corners!! |
|
Country, but with a definite twist. Sorrow goes through anger and comes out the other end as big-time defiance. |
|
Tribal-ish toms where you'd usually expect expect to hear a "bodhran" (traditional Irish hand drum). |
|
This song is ALL about mood. Can't you just see Lisa Simpson, sitting under a bridge, playing the perfect solo ... |
|
Driving chorus leads into a "schizophrenic" 3:4 bridge section and comes back out rockin'. |
|
Again dark and electronic - this time much angrier!! |
