All My Friends

Hello everybody and welcome back to my blog. This time I'll be talking about Lcd Soundsystem, which was a American Dance-Punk band( they were active from 2001-2011 before"retiring"). It consisted primarily of Producer James Murphy with Pat Mahoney,Tyler Pope,  Nancy Whang,  David Scott Stone, Matt Thornely,Gavin Rossom, Al Doyle, Phil Skarnich, Phil Mossman and J.D Mark  who'd perform live with James Murphy and occasionally write songs with him as well. They originated in New York under James Murphy's Label DFA Records with their self-titled debut album. They then went on to release two more albums before retiring. The song I'll be reviewing this time is from their second album Sound Of Silver, called All My Friends. While it may not be an electronic music song I still wanted to review it because it's one of my favourite Lcd Soundsytem songs.


Lcd Soundsystem's second album Sound Of Silver.
So the song All My Friends starts off with fast piano notes and then a drum beat fades in; it plays for a minute and then a nice bass comes, which then leads to the vocals( sung by James Murphy). The song is really nice and has a nice beat going for it, it has nice drums and bass as well as some background noises. What I like the most about this song though are the vocals, more specifically the lyrics. The lyrics start off nice and calm but then they get more frantic and desperate as does the song. The song's lyrics in my opinion are about life's situation's. Like one part says "And if I made a fool, if I made a fool, if I made a fool on the road, there's always this.And if I'm sewn into submission, I can still come home to this." I find that this is talking about how if you make a bad decision in life but have good friends then you can always rely on them to make you feel better or get you back on your feet. The lyrics have tons of meaning and that's why I chose this particular song, it's an amazing song and if you don't take my word for then take the word of PitchFork Media who declared it the second best song of the decade! It's just a really great song on a equally great album. So that's all for now and I'll see you next time.

If you want the lyrics then here you go!
