An upbeat guitar solo opens up the first track on the duo-release called 'You Give Me Everything' however it starts off with a steadily-paced riff, but the tempo soon increases and then the guitars are shortly accompanied by the drums. The vocals then entwine with the instruments which gradually increases the pace of the song as a whole; approximately about one minute in, the song begins to really reach its peak.
"Cus you're there when I need, you're the air that I breathe. Because YOU give me everything, give me everything, give me everything I've ever wanted."
The chorus continues after this line by alternating the end continuation of the line 'you give me everything..' The chorus repeats itself several times throughout the track which makes the track as a whole very catchy due to the repetitive chorus. On a separate note, I particularly liked the way they emphasised on the word 'you' within this line as it is if to say no one else can give me what you can, and no one else ever will.
As for the second track; 'Your Life Is Waiting Outside' at the first glimpse of the intro you hear a tune that is very similar to 'Oasis - Wonderwall'. However the riff shortly alternates into a completely different riff almost immediately after the few seconds of inspiration from the notorious track of 'Wonderwall' ceased. On the other hand, I must admit that the guitars do sound very Oasis influenced during this particular track. The vocals enter 28 seconds-in after the guitar solo intro, with the captivating opening lyrics of...
"You lie, you cheat, you take your time."
The chorus line is the song title of 'Your Life Is Waiting Outside'. This tells me that perhaps he has kicked her out of his/their home together and is telling her to get into the real world as she won't get nowhere in life she continues doing what she is doing. She will never have a happy, strong and serious relationship if she doesn't stop lying, cheating and taking her time - she is living in a fantasy world.
In conclusion the duo-release was admittedly very well put together as both of the tracks link together. The first track - 'You Give Me Everything' is about this 'perfect' woman who lures him into loving her by telling him everything he wants to hear and fulfils all of his needs. On the other hand; the second track is a continuation from the first track whereby he actually sees her true colours and for who she really is (a manipulative swine). Both songs have a guitar intro and outro, therefore it is easier to make the continuation of songs flow together one after another when performed or listened to. The only minor bit of criticism I really have on the two tracks is that I wish that the drums were more distinctive within the two songs, and were used more usefully to show the indignation and intensity of the songs when the tempo and volume increases. Therefore I wish that the drums can make as much of a statement as the guitars do, because I personally didn't even notice the drums through first-hearing. I only really properly noticed them when I was intensely listening to the track for the lyrics. Apart from that minor criticism (just a personal preference) I love these two tracks! They are brilliant and perfectly placed together! The vocals are also very good and show pure passion as well as the lyrics. I wish to hear more work off you soon lads, congratulations on your duo-release and I wish you all the best of luck within your future endeavours as a band. The links to the two tracks are below -
