My iPod #46: Dananananaykroyd - Apostrophe

Have to click on here again, sorry!

I have nothing much to say about this song, I didn't come with anything prepared.

Most of what I said about the album this song is on, can be found if you click here.

So.... it's a shame about Margaret Thatcher, eh?

I can't really say anything about her, I wasn't born when she was Prime Minister. From what I witness, a lot of people liked her and a lot of people hated her. She's Marmite.

Whatever though, she's still dead. She will always go down as being Britain's first female Prime Minister, and that's something. I think it would be a long time before another female was elected to be PM. You've got to respect the dead... surely.... right?

OK. This is boring.

'Apostrophe' is the eighth track on Danananananaykroyd's second album. It's actually one of the more slower songs at 140bpm. That sounds fast doesn't it? Not for Danana.... it isn't.

It's a pretty standard song for the band, it follows the verse-chorus-verse-bridge stuff that you would get in regular pop songs today, and for me it's one of the most radio-friendly songs that the band have ever done.

The duo lead vocals work off together perfecly yet again and it's hard not to sing along to the melodies. They are Scottish mind you, so it may be hard to understand what they are saying at first. It's all good though, you can figure it out.

The key changes during the instrumental break, adding a bit of change to the track. It makes you wonder where the song will end up next. Then the last section starts, the lyrics are belted out at the top of the two pairs of lungs, the overall tracks just picks up. It's one of those things where a crowd could just been seen shouting everything right back at them at a festival. Then the song finishes in a fade out of feedback, except for one guitar that just goes on and on, and leads into the next track 'Seven Days Late'. That song is crazy. I'll tell you about it soon.

Until next time.

Jamie.
