First version Second version
Hi everybody.
It's time for another Editors song, and again it is one from their first album. Like "Blood", "Bullets" was also released twice which explains why it has two different videos. The first video plays the album version whereas the second plays a re-recorded version which the band did with the producer Jacknife Lee, a man who has done work with Biffy Clyro, Snow Patrol and Weezer.
If any of you are wondering what's different in the song in both of the videos, I can only remember the arrangement being a bit different. I don't like the album version and therefore have not listened to it for a while. It was the second out of the two which I saw first on the television. Nothing much happens in it. Lead singer Tom Smith sings in slow motion and looks at an elderly man, a girl dances in slow motion and two guys drive a car into a field and proceed to vandalise it. It's not a very exciting video.
The song itself is very solid though. You've got Chris Urbanowicz's delivering that wailing siren-sounding riff which repeats itself during the choruses and outro. I'm sure the drumming pattern doesn't change but it certainly hits hard. It's very snare-y. A lot more so than "Blood". That doesn't take anything away though. Lyrically the song is very repetitive but it's good that the melody isn't annoying otherwise it would be very tiresome. The chorus "You don't need this disease" just runs into itself over and over again it becomes something of a madness mantra.
The word 'bullets' isn't mentioned anywhere in the lyrics. Listen to the song and figure out why it may be called "Bullets" because thinking about it now, I can't tell you.
