Hello. It’s Tuesday innit? I am slowly getting better and happy about it 🙂 And this is the best time to share the track named “Tuesday”. Today here is Laura Carbone — alternative rock artist from Berlin, Germany, and the song “Tuesday” (obviously). Let’s check it out!
It’s an incredibly atmospheric and dark mix of indie-folk, alternative, and psychedelic rock music. I am in love with this vocal manner and timbre! It makes me feel like I am in some kind of spooky, black-and-white movie. Wonderful feeling. In general, I just like it when music gives me any kind of emotion.
The track is also very well-produced and arranged. Pretty unusual melody, structure, and vibe in general. I think it’s a good practice to stand out in the overall musical flow. What about lyrics and meaning? I think that the theme of the song is pretty familiar to everybody. At least I feel all of those words resonate inside of my brain.
Here is a bit more info about the song:
“Tuesday”, the third single from Laura Carbone’s upcoming album “The Cycle”, is creepy as fuck. It sounds like skin crawling, it feels like slow cancer in a circus tent. Laura has always explored the depths in her music, and in her own psyche. Songs like “Silky Road” or “Heavy, Heavy” from her 2015 debut album “Sirens”, the explosive dirge “Nightride” and the title track from the 2018 album “Empty Sea”, or the searing live version of Empty Sea’s “Cellophane Skin” from 2020’s “Laura Carbone – Live at Rockpalast” are all testament to a certain fearlessness toward confronting the dark, to facing it, to facing it down. This and Laura’s vocal command of the whole spectrum of emotions, from the most delicate loving whisper to the fiercest feminine rage are perhaps what inspired Swans’ Michael Gira and Kristof Hahn to invite her to sing backing vocals on their latest album, The Beggar.
Thanks for listening and reading to this stuff 🙂 Have a wonderful day and stand with Ukraine! Peace <3
LYRICS
Cold is the rain, tonight Water flushing down your boulevard, tonight I send you a storm you feel knee high in water tonight An experience in isolation only for you tonight Let it rise Lover leave me Lover leave me Lover leave me Lover leave me Lost in deep vain, tonight Your phone is out of reach and you can’t call for help, tonight No one believes the torture you feel tonight Pictures to memorize mirrors to choke on your sins tonight Let it rise Lover leave me Lover leave me Lover leave me Lover leave me How was your pain, last night? Does the salt still hurt your wounds, the ones from last night Commitments are burdens when you look in the mirror Commitments are burdens it’s time to face your shadow Uhhaahhuuhaahh
