Tom: Our reader, Luca, sends in just-released gem — his words — from Norway. Luca also calls it a “climactic banger of titanic ambitions”, which is both a bold claim and an accurate descriptor of your mum.
Tim: Woah, what? Well that came out of the blue, but, erm, okay.
Tim: Ooh, I do like a song that comes in strong.
Tom: That is a pretty good chorus, though, isn’t it?
Tim: Certainly is – I will take that climactic banger, thank you.
Tom: It’s a chorus that sounds like it’d fit in perfectly as uplifting music for the end of a film. That chorus should kick in just in time the final sweeping track backwards, the big dramatic sweeping shot that leaves the main characters looking out onto an uncertain, but promising, future.
Tim: Yes – yeah, that fits. Lyrics would need a rewrite, but musically that sounds about right.
Tom: I know, that’s a specific description, but it’s rare for me to get such a strong image from a song. I think that’s a good sign.
