Patrik Isaksson – Slåss För Oss

“TRIUMPH.”

Tim: ‘Fight For Us’. And, rather appropriately, it can only be described as a TRIUMPH. This is a brassed-up live version; the studio version’s on Spotify if you want it.

Tom: See, I’ll always favour something with a brass section.

Tim: Differences between this and the studio one: this has a whole lot of brass; the other has a bit more backing under the verses, so they basically balance out. And really, they’re both great. Vigorous, with exactly the level of power you’d expect a song called that to have.

Tom: Agreed: this ticks all the boxes for a song like that: that final chorus is wonderful.

Tim: It’d be lovely if I knew what the lyrics were, because this is a song I’d love to be able to shout along to the chorus with, entirely drowning out his perfectly good vocals but never mind, because I’d be FIGHTING FOR US. FIGHTING, you hear me? It’s what we NEED to do, and I’ve got this on in the background and all I can really think is that man, that’s some good brass on there.
