So, So Sad - EP

The 60's era sunshine beams through the stormy clouds of unrest...

     

"So, So Sad" is not just another breakup song with a twist. After digging through the archives of melancholy piano ballads and kicking it up a notch with a marching band attack, this slightly rearranged gem became one of the very first collaboration examples of the writing force behind The Dirty Blue. The 60's era sunshine beams through the stormy clouds of unrest as the song positively nods to The Hollies, The Turtles and The Kinks. The harmony vocals and multi-layered guitars complement each other by creating a playful conversation in this dense full-steam-ahead production. "Farewell Theory" is an experiment in postmodern absurdity. Masking under Guns N'Roses-like mix of blues-metal and punk attitude, this song has absolutely no meaning to offer as its lyrical content was reportedly created by a computer program that generates random phrases. For short attention spans, this is the only song on the album that unfolds several distinct parts within just about two minutes of its running time. This is what happens when The Dirty Blue take apart and reassemble an idea based on a simple Hungarian gypsy tune.
