You know how my life is a film, yeah? Well, it is. And Waylayers‘ S.O.S. (Leave Alone) is definitely on the soundtrack. It’s the bit where something really terrible has happened, like my ‘soulmate’ has left me for my dad, or I’ve been caught up in a shameful scandal and been shunned to the edge of society, or, more likely in my life, my cat has popped it. This song will pipe up just as I’m starting to pick myself up again, realise that life is wonderful, I’m the best at everything and I have no room for more happiness, otherwise I’ll pop. And there would be a montage, with laughter, dancing and mincing. Yes, definitely mincing.
Another track I’ve been listening to again. And again. And again is Hear No Lies. Its a bundle of synthy goodness, with epic delayed guitar riffs. If A-ha and the Editors were to beget a child, Waylayers would be their surrogate. And what a beautiful baby it would be.
