Song of the Week.

Song of the Week: "Normally Strange" by Lower Than Atlantis.

"I need to go insane with someone else, by myself".

As I trust you're all aware (and if not, why the fuck not?) LTA's new album came out today. Forget Muse (although I'm sure their album's pretty good too), all you need is this. It's brilliant. And after careful consideration I've decided that "Normally Strange" is my favourite track on the album, closely followed by "Scared of the Dark". 
But anyway, Normally Strange; I think I may be in love with the lyrics, particularly "I've been praying for some company but I want to be left alone". I don't know about you guys but I often feel like this, like I want company but I want to be by myself at the same time. I love the juxtaposition of it all, from start to finish, and encapsulated by the title "Normally Strange". It all makes perfect sense in an odd way. I would say that I can see this song being brilliant live, but I can actually confirm that it IS brilliant live, like the smug mare I am. So yes, good song, good album.
