"The Soundtrack of Your LifeOpen in new Window.

This is another song with no singing. It's weird that there were two of those on the year’s summary. It makes me wonder how many songs are like that and how many of those are on my playlist. Hmmmmm.

I like this one simply because of the beat. I don’t like the Gorillaz really. I am not the biggest fan of “digital groups” and it wouldn’t make any difference what they were saying. But I am a fan of some colonization allegory. Some capitalistic exploitation. Some nature wins. So the lyrics also make me happy.

But there is a different reason I love it. And I won’t be able to explain it because if I sit and think too hard about it myself - I can’t make it make sense either. Something about its vibe. Something about the stark differences between a capitalistic society and a more indigenous way of life. Something about the slight absurdity of it. The whole thing reminds me of Joe Versus the Volcano. And for reasons unknown I fucking have always loved that show.
