As the saying goes, "When it rains, it pours." When something goes wrong, it seems more things go wrong and things will never be right again. The frustration and despair of this experience is captured in UK- based rock group The Goodstock Project and their newest single, "This Rain". Check it out on YouTube here:
The song opens with vocalist June singing how tired she is of the endless rain she’s enduring backed by acoustic guitar and piano (both played by Ol). The bass (Jon) and drums (Ben) come crashing in by the second verse.
'I've black-lidded eyes,
And there are cold stormy skies,
The easy escape is the one we can't take
Another reason we all must apologise"
It can be both exciting and intimidating for a new band to enter a music scene, and UK-based The Goodstock Project addresses, with deep candor, all the conflicting emotions of that very situation on their driving, stadium-inspired new single “Be The One.” Check it out on YouTube here:
“Be The One” starts out pounding and soaring, and singer June Holland’s vibrato glides above and between the instrumentation like a colorful, gently fluttering bird. “Gotta get me/ Some of that wrinkle cream/ Help smooth out my smile lines,” she sings, referring to the forced smiles of an uncomfortable, or fake, situation.
“The lyrics and inspiration behind this tune are about assessing the way a music scene is developing, and having a true belief that you are worthy of being part of it,” the band divulges. “Or better still, standing apart from it and achieving success independently.”
