Bim – Lights Out

“That is something, isn’t it? What exact thing, I’m not sure”

Tim: I’m not sure I’d know how to introduce this, so I won’t try.

Tim: Now, that is something, isn’t it? What exact thing, I’m not sure – heavy dance or emotional ballad, upbeat with hands in the air or downbeat with head in your hands, or maybe just one big mess.

Tom: “You know that sound Ellie Goulding’s got? Yeah, turn it up to 11 and mix in a bit of Pendulum.”

Tim: But it’s a very good mess, at that – it all comes together, without much structure to it, but with fantastic instrumentation and wonderfully emotive voices.

Tom: Can’t argue with that.

Tim: Speaking of structure, that second verse cause me no end of trouble. It seems to sound massively out of place (though not in a bad way), and so the first couple of times I heard it I thought it was the middle eight, so then the next chorus was logically the final one, so the “I will me you see…stars” was the end.

Tom: My brain went the same way – I reckon that the track possibly overstays its welcome a bit, but that’s not much of a criticism to make. That “stars” would seem a natural end of the song.

Tim: It would, but it doesn’t overstay its welcome – after all, ending it there would leave us barely two and a half minutes of it, and that would be a shame. It just seems like it does, so my brain started hurting. But soon felt better, because this track’s just great, messy as it may be.

Also note: fans of this may wish to check out their track Scream1, which for some reason we unfortunately missed. Because that one’s good as well.
