OVERTURES
Check out the single from The Normantones.
Overtures tells the story of Natalie who has recently been through a break-up, and her new suitor who is acutely aware of this. His concern for her, and his hopes for their future together are ‘front and centre’ in the song, but they are tempered by a lyrical wariness of the dangers posed by a precipitous entry into a rebound relationship: “Just recently you’ve split with him, so you might not accept my overtures…”.
Clichés
Clichés is about the complexities of relationships and uses well worn phrases to capture the aspects that most go through. The sound is a departure from the more recent acoustic offerings with synth sounds from the 1980's. The Normantones are firm believers in "what goes around, always comes around". Don't be too quick to judge this offering by its cover.
No Way!
With No Way!, The Normantones are re-visiting their acoustic "unplugged" roots. Acoustic guitars were their first instruments, bought for them by their parents, and it is this fingerpicked instrument that fronts No Way! The sound of crickets, recorded in Normandy, open the song and set the nocturnal scene in which the protagonists have begun their courtship. At the conclusion of the song, one is left wondering about their fate and hoping that it is not all "the final act income sad play.
Let's take time together...
The origins of this song date back many years to a warm summer day where I once lived and reflected on how we need to take time and make time for each other.
Whilst the language in the song is singular it is an amalgamation of a number of stories that hopefully mean something to you when you hear it and as such will relate to all types of relationships.
prisoner...
Prisoner is a somewhat dark and disconcerting tale of not only feeling love for someone, but of also feeling incarcerated by it. The song’s protagonist is all too aware that whilst the object of his affection is someone he desperately wants to be with and feels has totally captured his imagination and affection in an apparently irreversible way, there is the fear that his love may not be reciprocated (“For you to feel the same way, that’s what I need”/“ Will you play prisoner to me?”).
