Four

You know how they say that when you're happy you hear the music but when you're sad you hear the lyrics? What if every song we listened to was a basic instruction or a warning? What if the key to success was within the written words, the melodies and the hooks?

Now days the music that we're faced with is electro instrumental alien sounds that have no real words or just basic phrases. Listening to normally arranged music with a vocalist and people playing various instruments, we listen to the various sounds and sing along but how often do we listen? I've been listening to a lot of various music lately and I don't know whether it's because i just enjoy this band or what but I swear Bloc Party have seen the future. Im listening to Four at the moment, for probably the 127th time now and each time I swear they've stumbled upon the next 20 years. Whether it is the sound - which shall become the norm in the industry - or the lyrics - which many people will start mirroring - they seem to have struck a nerve in the world and in my head.
