| The Shaker Hymn - The Runaway |
This new single from Cork lads
The Shaker Hymn feels a little bit like falling asleep on the sofa on a
Saturday night only to wake up and have to decide whether you want to move or
not. There is a warmth to 'The Runaway' which exudes from every inch of the
fuzzy guitars, rolling drums and soft drawling vocals like the warmth of a sofa
that you've been melting in to for the past few hours in front of a well love
movie (let's say Caddy Shack). But at the same time there's an uncomfortable,
slightly uneasy feeling in the air caused by the nervous tones to the vocals
and anxious guitar solo much like the thought of moving from your warm spot to
go to bed. You know you should go to bed as a night on the sofa won't do your
back any good but that means moving and probably getting cold. The only thing
this song doesn't do is replicate the realisation that you need a pee anyway so
you have to get up regardless of what you want to do. Maybe that's on the
B-side. Tasty and invigorating staff anyway, sofa analogies aside, which bodes
well for the predicted Irish revolution I've mentioned a few times. It's coming
people, you heard it here first...
