Song of the Week - Melancholy Sky

Please tell me you've heard of Goldfrapp. They are one of the strangest, yet most genius, groups out there right now. With their ever-changing sound, they always leave you wondering what style they will be coming out with next. That is exactly why I love them so.

Melancholy Sky is a very mellow track, keeping to the bare minimal. The only time the song picks up is during the chorus, but even then it is still a very laid back track. The light back track and the haunting lyrics paint a beautiful picture. The lyrics are a depressing ode to a very messed up relationship, as she realizes that it was not her fault by the end of the song.

The song is left somewhere in between Goldfrapp's first two albums. The first being a very airy and mellow sound and the second being a tribute to 80's synthpop, this new song fits snugly in between the two. The slow jam may not be for everyone, but it has an undeniable beauty to it, and can be a nice change from songs that demand you get crunk in the club.

You can buy the song on iTunes. Please do so. I want more Goldfrapp!
