New Music of the Day, September 26:


Saint Slumber, "Youth"
Objectively,
"I'll be young 'till the day I die
I'll be young 'till the day I die
Don't stop 'till the feeling's gone
Won't stop 'till I get enough"
is a pretty dumb lyric.
But in the context of this song, delivered in a breathy wisp, almost overwhelmed by the pulsing electronic drone around it, a rush of bass like the sound of blood pumping in your ears after a long run, it starts to sound almost profound, like one lone partyboy mewling into the void.
