When you’re living your dreams confined by so many considerations, there is a feeling that they might not be the extent of your imagination. Soothing tones and a lucid chord structure provide the starry framework for the song. The tones are precise, gentle reminders of what has wrapped around lyrics of dire visions. Soft vocal patterns deliver the news in a sweetened format, the weight of the words still heavy. Plastic Barricades write brilliant bass lines that proceed in the background. This is a candy floss dream that is tainted by the grey of reality. It is really a “sit back and watch the world eat itself” moment. The lyrics are stark, yet bring a glimmer of hope to art. Something we consider our only saviour. You can imagine this one fitting brilliantly in Ted Lasso. There is something about Plastic Barricades and the music made that is as alarming as it is the silver lining around a cloud.
