Dark synth pop’s next Bjork, Ariana and the rose, will make you dance until dawn with her latest track Night owl.
SOFTLY,
the whispers of a siren wake you,
Every
note
Clinging to the air
Circling round your head
Seducing your ears
Until they rouse you
up from your depressed
slumber,
In the middle of the night
light, and unwavering,
the siren’s voice begins to
Drift
To you
Leading you
across the room
lifting your heavy body with its delicate
Call
Up, up, up, and across to a
Bright
Window,
It’s dark outside –
too dark for you
to even see
the crowd of people,
That has been
buzzing like flies,
swarming
Just
Outside
From
Your self-made
Prison
Like silk,
each note seems to hug and hold
your skin,
Moving your arms
In a dance
Beckoning you to
Break the window open
And let the outside in
The voice, like a beacon
In this bleak
Abiss
Casts its
string
of
words
Out
of
the
window
Sill
The
freedom
in
Your
Hands
Streaming
down
the
walls
like
your
tears
Down
down
down
to the world below
As the words trickle
And rope of lyrics fall
Thin
and
robotic
A new voice grabs on
Climbing up the string of words
Marrying the sirens’ call
joining this a capella party
Reminding
you
To stop dancing
On
Your
Own
the texture is oozing
With each new sound
that
climbs
Up
The
Rope
Out from the window, and into your home
That was once filled with solitude, So much so, that out spills
A far-off drone
One that electrifies
Your bones
Making you click
You fingers
To the moving tone
You can
feel it
In
Your
soul
Swiftly you shoot up, Tall,
To stand strong and brave,
Cementing your feet in the
ground of steady beats, As
more instruments start to arrive,
Each now knocking at the
Door
Desperate to be let in
Until they can wait
No
More
Drums
Charging at the walls
And
climbing in a
Cadence
Through the window to you
As the chorus hits
Pixels –
Ah they’re
filling your eyes
Headrush hits you as
Each electric beat flurries to
your brain leaving you dizzy with
energy urging you to dance despite the
night and its darkness that commanded this
once empty shallow home of isolation and fear
And don’t it feel good
Don’t it feel good
Letting the
Funky slapping bass
Complete with cheerful chirping synths
Break through your dark mind
Bringing light to your eyes
Your ears your face
With this
This celebratory cadence
Confetti collage
Of electronic excellence
And bursting sounds
That were found sparkling once before
Within a lonely star
Dont it feel good
Letting these empowering vocal notes
And glistening synths
Circle round you
Don’t it feel good
So good you can’t bare to sit down
You have to keep dancing
Dancing forever
Long past the dawn
Forever
Forever
This is what the musical charts have been looking for
this is what popular music has been missing
Minus the often drab
High school level choreography
Somewhat
limp lacklustre, and lifeless,
unfortunately
Littered
Across the club bop’s
Tumblr style
aesthetic moodboard
Music video
But
This is what popular music aspires to be,
With a chorus that bursts, like a raving discotheque club,
with a voice that is drenched in illuminating electricity
With verses thst keep us wanting more, more, more
This is perfection,
Ariana and The Rose has created the tale of
a shy teen, breaking away from their isolation, depression and solitude,
Instead finding themselves glowing as a sudden confidence beats from their heart
And they let the outside world in,
And learn to stand on their own two feet, have confidence, and dance, dance, dance,
With such an inspiring message, you would think the music should take a back seat
And instead each word should be held up by acoustic guitars, and thin watery textures,
But no, not for this gorgeous club ready track,
As the wonderful songstress has created not only a poignant string of lyrics
But an incredibly enlightening musical masterpiece too
One that mirrors each word she sings
And truly does force us all to dance
So once again i say
wonderful work
And I very much look forward
To the next infectious tune,
