Melvins – Lizzy

Bombastic song with a great vibe

 

I stumbled upon this song recently while studying for my exams. I am surprised at how good this composition turned out to be, so I decided to share it with you guys. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

What I liked most about this song is how chaotic it actually is. It starts-off really calm and relaxing and then absolutely explodes in the chorus. The drums are so hardcore and violent while the down-tuned guitars make the song feel really heavy and loud. The chorus contrasts with the harmonic vibe of the verses though, which I personally really liked. It is no wonder that these guys have been a huge inspiration for grunge bands like Nirvana.

I read the lyrics like five times, slowly, but I still don’t quite understand what they’re talking about. I’m not really sure how to interpret lines like “He’s somebody’s daughter”, because it simply doesn’t make any sense to me. Maybe it is about the abuse of power and authority? Maybe? Maybe, who the hell knows. The important thing is, that the song is really good. At the end of the day, it’s the music the counts.
