"Electrify My Love" by Mondo Cozmo – A Song Feature

 

     We admit to having a weakness for songs that utilize a choir for the backing vocals. In "Electrify My Love," a single word is repeated, but the contribution is powerful. The first “Higher” is at the 1:33 mark, and the single from Mondo Cozmo jumps. But it is during the conclusion that the choir is most significant, since the elegance of their vocals anchor the melody as the guitars and percussion create turbulence.
 
          Mondo Cozmo is the performance name of Josh Ostrander. He is from Philadelphia, but now resides in the Los Angeles area. “Electrify My Love” is a single that will be on the album “This is for the Barbarians,” which is scheduled for release on April 8th via Last Gang Records.
 
      While talking about the single, Ostrander said:
   “‘Electrify My Love’ was the last song to make the record but it was specifically written to be the first song on the album. We wanted the long musical intro to have a calming effect and the opening lyrics to be of comfort. ‘Good evening everyone, I hope this finds you well.' A sincere check in on everyone after what we have all been through. I love how the chorus punches ya in the heart. I think it is the perfect opening track to the album and it’s gonna be an absolute killer live.”

Lyrics of "Electrify My Love" by Mondo Cozmo
Good evening everyone, I hope this finds you well
And sitting in the sun and breathing deep the air
Be not full of fear, there is no darkness here
Just a lifting of the veil for the ending of the world
 
[Backing vocals repeating “Higher”]
Come on, turn it on
You can fill it up
Like a diamond in the sun
Electrify my love
 
Come on, turn it on
You can fill it up
Like a diamond in the sun
Electrify my love
 
The last thing that I heard silence is a word
Whispered in the ears of Kings and monuments
Be not full of fear, the actress isn't here
Just a ringing of the bell for the ending of the world
 
[Backing vocals repeating “Higher”]
Come on, turn it on
You can fill it up
Like a diamond in the sun
Electrify my love
 
Come on, turn it on
You can fill it up
Like a diamond in the sun
Electrify my love
 
Come on, turn it on
You can fill it up
Like a diamond in the sun
Electrify my love
 
[Instrumental portion]
 
Come on, turn it on
You can fill it up
Like a diamond in the sun
Electrify my love
 
Come on, turn it on
You can fill it up
Like a diamond in the sun
Electrify my love
Electrify my love
Electrify my love
Like a diamond in the sun
Electrify my love
Electrify my love
Electrify my love
Like a diamond in the sun
Electrify my love
