Squeeze – Rough Ride

| Squeeze - Rough Ride |
Release Date: Out Now
So, Squeeze are back, and they’ve
genuinely got one of the most unusual singles and videos on offer at the
moment. ‘Rough Ride’ is a real state of the nation song that takes on the
issues with poverty, lack of social mobility and dead-end jobs over a funky,
cop-theme indie-rock melody with classic, unmistakable everyman vocals. Then
come the weird bits – there are contributions from the Lewisham & Greenwich
NHS Choirs, the Thorntree School Choir, a trumpet solo and a video that
features Simon Day trying to grift people with a three-card trick on the
streets of London while another man dances on the pavement for money. This is one
of those songs that you can enjoy for the melody without expending too much
effort but if you have the energy to pay attention to the lyrics then you’ll
get far more from it.
