The order of the four songs
Line the titles up in sequence and it looks like this.
| Order | Song |
|---|---|
| 1 | Fault |
| 2 | Fever |
| 3 | A thorny path |
| 4 | City Nights |
Fault, fever, a thorny path, city nights. It starts at blame, moves to temperature, passes through a road and ends at a place.
The first two happen inside; the last two are outside. It's an arrangement that starts in the mind and walks out of it.
That 'A thorny path' sits third also stands out. The hardest word isn't saved for last but placed one before it. That makes the ending the ground after you've come through.
Hearing alternative rock up close
NONOL LIVE keeps the stage and the audience close. With a band, that distance arrives as pressure in the sound.
Alternative rock isn't a genre aiming for a clean sound. There are stretches deliberately left rough, and that becomes the character of the song. Up close, the roughness arrives unsmoothed.
The near-absence of editing works here too. Noise a studio would have tidied simply stays. In this genre, that isn't a loss.
Ending on 'City Nights'
The last song is a place — and a city at night at that.
Where the first three point at states or processes, the last points at the ground all of it sits on. Rather than finishing the story, it ends by showing the background.
Night is the end of a day, but a city at night is a little different. It's the hour people sleep and the city doesn't. An ending that isn't an ending. A fitting word to place at the end of a set.
Today, like this
Try this session at night. The last song is a city at night, so it suits a window that looks like one.
You can turn it up a little. Band arrangements need the sound to mass together. Rather than picking out instruments, listen to it as one body.
Play the four in order, all the way through. In this session the arrangement is the content, so shuffling loses half of it.
A new song has arrived at the playground today.
