Re-invention is a tough project normally. If you want to break the masses’ conceptions of you, you normally have to walk a vastly different path. Changing your name and cutting your hair is normally not enough, but you can’t tell Oasis, I mean Beady Eye that.
Actually, I don’t even think anyone cut their hair. They did cut a member though. Jay-Z’s best friend Noel Gallagher got the axe. The remaining members, including Noel’s brother Liam, changed their name to Beady Eye and there you go; a new band. There is an album scheduled for sometime next year and they are already giving away music.
“Bring the Light” is an energetic, retro, foot-stomping piece of rock and roll. It would be dope if it was so… not. It’s hard to explain. The pounding piano drives this baby a good 85 miles per hour as the drum and Liam Gallagher’s vocals fall right in line. It makes you think about dancing hard and fast and having to catch your breath afterwards. Even with all of that rip roaring rock going on, it’s still generic.
I’m not quite sure what this song is about. He wants his baby to hold on, to come on and get in the car so they can go drinking. The light and the love are there but he doesn’t care what she thinks because she’s going to give him some. I think. But when the music is moving this fast and the dance floor is packed, who is deciphering lyrics? No biggie.
The bottom line? It’s not earth-shattering. It’s been done before and better. However, if this is your sound and you can get your gal out on the dance floor, Beady Eye’s “Bring The Light” should be able to keep you entertained at least long enough for your girl to, as Jay-Z would say, sweat out her weave. Enjoy.
