Money have taken the portentous nature of their 2016 album ‘Suicide Songs‘ to its logical conclusion during a session at Église St Merry in Paris for La Blogothèque.
Directed by Aelred Nils, ‘You Look Like a Sad Painting On Both Sides Of The Sky‘ is introduced by a poem from frontman Jamie Lee, a track we put under the microscope during our album review.
“Slow, acoustic delve ‘You Look Like a Sad Painting On Both Sides Of The Sky‘ wails like the bluer brother of ‘Space Oddity‘,” it reads. “It makes you question which sky’s sides he’s on about — the sky that separates heaven and hell? Lee’s vocals on it, like a lot of the time, are a poignant force. Malleable to his feelings every which way.”
“‘All My Life‘ reaches a new fragility. “Not ashamed of what I’m doing, but I’m ashamed of what I’ve done”, Lee openly bears. He stretches the octaves on a chorus featuring gospel backing singers, and it’s these few sublime bars that feel like the entire album’s money shot.”
