TV on the Radio - Staring at the Sun
Today’s track is curated by Len Kendall / @LenKendall
From a simple beat and voice in the introduction, to a complex listening experience in the end, this song is an incredibly strong backdrop to our summer. It may not mean as much to those who live in perma-warm locations (California, Texas, etc.) but for individuals in the Midwest and Northeast, summers are a blip, and their brevity makes them that much more special. Often we are overwhelmed with the endless choices of diversions the summer offers us but as time goes on, we learn to soak up as much as possible in the few months we have to be outside “playing” with our friends. In tune, this song becomes progressively more complicated, but by the end of it, your ears remain comfortable, accepting the rush of auditory information until finally and quickly, the excitement comes to an end.
