Derailed

Then it is time for song number six from Lars Lind’s newest album “Heavy Western”. It’s not that many songs left, so I am gonna try and post a bit more rapidly and not on a weekly basis.

Today’s song is “Derailed”.
Lars has this to say about the song
- This is a very guitar oriented track with acoustic and electric guitars, as well as bass and some percussion. A lot of harmonies and strong melodic themes. The guitar arrangement may sound a bit like Eric Clapton and his Band Cream in the sixties. This song is a bit different than the other tracks, but I think it works very well on the record.

What I like about this song is the melodic themes. The entire song has a feel to it that brings forth memories and thoughts. It’s a bit more calm than many of the other songs on the album. I also like the end very much – it suits the song well, and surrounds it in a nice way, with the music slowly dies out.

On youtube you will only find a very short version of the song – it’s only 39 seconds. While the version that comes on the album is 3 minutes and 51 seconds. I am of course going to post the shortversion from youtube, but if you want to hear the entire version you know what to do.
The song may be downloaded from iTunes and Amazon, or you may purchase the entire album here.

Here is today’s song in the short version:
