Gold Baby – Maggots
Gold Baby - Maggots
Release Date: 5th December 2018
Every song has a mood, an emotion
that hits you from first note to last and usually these fit in to a handful of categories
– love, hate, lust, frustration etc. However, London quartet Gold Baby’s new
single ‘Maggots’ strikes me as a three and half minute audio painting of pure
relief. From the breezy guitars and jaunty drums that open proceedings to the
breathy vocals of Sian Alex, this track feels like letting go of a huge weight
and it’s a welcome sensation. Lyrically, the superbly delivered line “You’re
16, 40, 55, 80 all at the same time and now you’re covered in maggots” suggests
this might be a song saying goodbye to someone who’s had, as they say, a good
innings but I try not to second guess meanings in songs – just the emotions.
