Burning Hearts - I Lost My Colour Vision

Burning Hearts - I Lost My Colour Vision

I will not start apologizing now for not posting anything lately. There are a lot of reasons and that shall do it.
This one here been sitting on my desk for a while and it got there with pretty much the same story as the first ever earworm here got there: with a loud “Bang” and a huge puzzlement in tow. It took me a few days to properly place it but with a slight relief I did it. It is the opening track of burning hearts debut album “aboa sleeping”.
What makes the song is the arrangement of different associations or mental connections. The drum opening and that first “bing” brings old soft cell back to mind while the bass line goes more in the new order direction. That combined with jessika’s vocals make it sound like a lost the organ track. But when you got there, the song is already forever branded into you brain waves, long-time memory thingy. And it is all those things it could be, all the things that are there but also not, that make it so hard to forget and hard to place. It is not some “I’m me, I’m me” mediocrity of a song, crying for your attention like an ADS on speed. It is a song that gets it uniqueness from all that it is not without trying hard to be unique.

By doing a short portrait of the band for a magazine I write for I learned that the band is from finland and nor from sweden like I assumed. Well, they are from the swedish speaking part of finland. And that is funny because I also know a band from the finnish speaking part of sweden.
