REARDON LOVE - Dreams From The Diaspora

Dreams from the Diaspora is the third single from UK based indie rock band Reardon Love. The track immediately plunges the listener into a wild west scene that feels reminiscent of ‘Red Right Hand (Nick Cave)’ or ‘Riders on the Storm (The Doors)’. As with all of Reardon Love’s songs, the lyrical theme of the track tackles a contentious and controversial issue.  This time it is immigration, the ambitions of people too afraid to continue living in their birthplace, leaving behind the spiritual land of their culture in order to seek safety, financial stability and quality of life in a developed nation. It also highlights the prejudice these people face even when reaching and achieving their dreams of a stable and comfortable life. 

Despite the melancholic nature of the verses the chorus offers something different.  A change in tempo, instrumentation and lyrical theme, all of which lend itself to a new message.'If the people are against you, the future is yours.'

 

This song climaxes in an instrumental explosion of chaotic energy, an expression of frustration or an anthem of prosperity, drawing inspiration from the ‘Knights of Cydonia (Muse)’ and closes with delightful synchronicity from the band showing solidarity behind the message.

In two words : Very Recommended !
