Once upon a time sometime around the turn of the century, it looked like a band called Death In Vegas was going to save indie. They looked like the new Primal Scream. They had a hit that was not very politically correct, titled ‘Hands Around My Throat’, but in the long run everyone’s favorite song was ‘Dirge’, an almost instrumental song in which a simple hum ended up drilling your brain all over. its accident rate.
Celeste knows this and has adapted ‘Dirge’ into her new single, ‘Everyday’. It’s our Song of the Day today.
‘Everyday’ was released live a few months ago, Celeste has been warning for some time that her new single contained a sample of Death In Vegas and that this was going to be defining of what would be her second album, delving, perhaps, into her love for trip hop.
But it’s only today, January 3, when the song is released, perhaps when its sample/inspiration is released, or when your label has deemed it appropriate to launch this campaign all at once.
‘Everyday’ begins like ‘Dirge’ but then develops a different route, with its own lyrics. We are facing a tortuous song of heartbreak, in a turbulent relationship in which blame is thrown, to which she wants to return, but not in the same way as before. “I won’t change, I won’t change” is one of the most repeated phrases in the lyrics.
The song maintains the minimalist atmosphere until in the bridge, Celeste bursts into longing screams, in what seems like a frustrated masturbation. “Sometimes, I touch myself,” he shouts with no other satisfaction than finally embarking on the path of the successor to his debut ‘Not Your Muse’, 4 years later.
