Treasures Among The Little Things
Today’s song will also be a remix, I know it isn’t originally done by Deadmau5, but his remix is unique enough that it deserves a spot here for the week. I’ll jump right into the song, first let’s check out that vocal part. Mariqueen Maandig Reznor has a soothing voice that may be a little too breathy at times, but is pretty good overall and nice to listen too. The lyrics are interesting and cryptic sounding (very poetic), but don’t convey any message easily seen by the listener. The instruments are easily the most interesting and complex part of the song. I honestly can’t name what half the noises are or where they come from, and after many times listening to it I still find the beat and semi-melodic parts to be refreshing. Various samples are taken from the original song and put to good use here as background beats and dustings of good solos. This will be a song that you’ll have to just experience on your own. I particularly love this song because of the general calm and cool nature of it. From years of club smashing albums, this song shows the sophistication Joel has grown into by creating such odd and beautiful works. The rest of the album While (1<2) as a whole is a great demonstration of his ability to create real music, not just repetitive beats and drops. Out of all the songs, I really hope you like this song and can see its value because of the purely original use of sample and bits throughout, I think it's awesome and so should you.
