"Liberty Bell" - Sanglorians - Spotify
Today's guest post was written by our dear friend Brad Silfan:
"Liberty Bell" is the closing track on Sanglorians' debut album Initiation, the latest project of the criminally under-appreciated musician Daniel Brummel. The album, which tells the tale of a broken heart after a break-up ("Lost") and hitting rock bottom ("Heartstrong"), concludes in this seven minute epic with themes of acceptance, dismissal, letting go, and moving on.
Believe it if you want to,
But I was born before you met me,
And I'm not gonna die if you leave
Brummel
is in a decidedly different place in this song after he "patched the
crack in the Liberty Bell and rang it," an amazing metaphor for
liberating yourself from whatever your personal confines are (in this
case, a relationship gone awry). He is empowered, brazen, and
conclusive. His powerful vocal delivery drips with angst and drives the
song home.
This is my favorite song (and album) of 2013. It
features anything you could ever want; great harmonies, big distorted
chords, a beautiful orchestral interlude, and "belt it out at the top of
your lungs" choruses. Give it a spin and let me know what you think in
the comments below.
great song, great post. Now officially stuck in my head for the rest of the day
