The Sarandons – Worse or for Better [Music Video]

Tags

2019, alternative, band, Canada, Group, indie, Music, Music Video, Musicians, Rock, The Sarandons, Toronto, Worse or for Better

Feeling in a Friday rock mood?
Today the Toronto’s The Sarandons released their music video for Worse or For Better.
The band consists of Damian Coleman (vocals, bass), Edmund Cummings (vocals, keys), Craig Keeney (lead guitar), Phil Skot (drums) and Dave Suchon (vocals, guitar).
Worst or for Better is taken from their upcoming self-titled EP, which comes out on November 30th.
About the song:
A scratchy and simultaneously smooth guitar opens and leads the melody of this piece that carries that certain old times’ echo, when the music was simply meant to become a sort of life soundtrack to be heard on vinyl records and old stereos.
The catchy chorus channels the deep yet almost relieving reflection toward a sense of resignation conducted throughout the whole track and expressed both through the lyrics guitar riffs.
Comes very easy to imagine yourself figuratively and metaphorically “on the road”, whether the pathway is truly asphalted or just an inner one.
Check out the music video.

Mike Bertini – World of Lies [Music Video]

Previously posted back in September.
Mike Bertini released the music video for World of Lies.
World of Lies will move your heart through its touching melody and intimate lyrics.
This elegant ballad smoothly comes to life via the enchanting sound of a piano – through a velvet path its notes soon also marry those of a rock organ to create an atmosphere at the crossroad of blues and pop.
Bertini’s voice pushes further the already loaded tone of the song, through the narration of a story as personal and universal as betrayal and trust, friendship and love.
Its simple words actually unearth eternal conflicts and unveil the lies behind the common façade often used by deceivers.
