Sam's Top 20 of 2013: #5



5”Black Chandelier,” Biffy Clyro

You know there’s a certain sound that defines a genre and it’s that certain sound that drives people to be so fascinated with that particular genre, and out of every song I’ve heard that you’ll see on this list this by chance is the most purest Alternative rock song and it’s this simple, clean, melodic but slightly dramatic shift in it’s soft verse heavy chorus sound that is so heavily reminiscent of alternative music from that magic period of time between the early 90’s and 2000’s where that commercial pop sound, Brit pop, and Grunge mixed together to create a sound that’s cleanly sang but with a heft in very little instruments that kind of creates a magical feeling of joy that just sucks you into what’s some truly magical lyrics that you can’t help but interpret as something so beautifully poetic that you find yourself reminding yourself why you love this genre so much.

So to put it in a nutshell this is the beauty of alternative music and just why I love it so, this glorious tune is just pure alternative joy….
