Friday Song: “Amour”
A young band continues to explore new ways to arrange and play great songs
After featuring the Warning’s initial breakthrough cover of “Enter Sandman” along with a list of songs to explore, I’ve been going further down the rabbit hole of their music catalog and live performances. For a rock group with members still in their early 20s — the youngest just celebrated her 20th birthday — it’s an impressively big task, and well worth the effort.
In addition to great musicianship and performance chops, the sisters from Mexico with Spanish as their first language write distinctive songs with strong lyrics in English, like:
- You love to look away from the face of your vices
Embrace them instead
And welcome yourself into the new modern crisis - I’m not in danger
I’m the danger - Wear your tears like jewelry
That vice is overpriced, but
Art is dead, it died with me
Don’t cry
So, I wanted to share more music with you — but which song to choose?
The answer came in the form of one of their most interesting compositions so far — a song called, “Amour.” It starts with the lyrics:
- Let’s be lonely together
Who knows what we’ll become?
Like two birds of a feather
A pair of broken hearts in one
There’s also a passage in French.
I’ll let the rest — and the music — speak for itself.
Enjoy!
