December Cleanin’ Out My Closet (of Deserving Songs) – Part 1

     At the end of each year, we look at the songs that have been listed for mention, but have undeservedly remained on the list for too long. Assuming we still find the songs blogworthy, we dedicate a post to them, although they may be in unrelated genres.

     “Free” by Nrvs was featured in episode 9 of Netflix series “Too Much.” The song is described as a lament about the existential experience of heartbreak, or as the band put it, “Just another dumb song about love found & lost within the wreckage! It happens... what are you gonna do?” The band is based in London.

     In their song “Breathe Me In,” The Kellows feature seemingly tireless percussion and enthusiasm. The band is from Sheffield, UK.

      “Twister Of Sin” by dbeat Boxbot is a Bluesy masterpiece. It’s a song that relates a twister with the consequences of a guilty conscience. Thus, there is a lyrical connection to the song that follows this, but the next song resides in a completely unrelated genre.  The driving force of dbeat Boxbot is Collin Whitely.

     “Good People Do Bad Things” by The Ting Tings is shared by another London-based band. The instrumental segment that ends the song establishes a highlight for the song. As noted, the lyrical message is related to that of the song from dbeat Boxbot:

Now you come to me with tears in your eyes
Eyes that don’t look up
You can't even bear to say it out loud
But I can read you like a book (Like a book)
Ask yourself why you're upset
And beating yourself up
You've broken your own heart
And that's the proof that shows you're good
