There are just times when lyrics fit your life perfectly. Ergo:
We live separate lives, can’t even organise
One more meeting of minds ain’t gonna make it right, no
There’s more humanity in just letting it be now
‘Cause I can’t seem to justify when we’re living separate dreams
This is from “Parallel Lives”, a track from the fabulous new album Overpowered by UK songstress Roisin Murphy. Aside from describing my current outlook on a man who’s pursuing me, Roisin displays the same mix of near-insanity and innovation that so characterizes her unique electro-disco and experimental style. It is very much an acquired taste, and one that many people often never acquire; still, I think that this and her first album Ruby Blue are very much worth a listen. Give it a try.
Recommended tracks: “You Know Me Better”, “Let Me Know”, “Dear Miami”, “Overpowered”, “Parallel Lives”
Pros: Supremely unique; very refreshing lack of restraint
Cons: Some tracks are slightly repetitive and similar to one another; not the kind of album for someone close-minded at all
