This song, recorded by Stevans, was introduced to me by Pandora Radio, before I listened to a lot of Hip-Hop. This group makes the only rock music that I listen to at this time. There first album was released years ago, but still quite modern on the rock scene. Although not very popular in the US, over in Europe they would be more well known. Regardless, some of their work is very catchy, and a lot of fun. This song is one of my favorites from them.
The beat is very uplifting and the lyrics are kind of catchy. Quite a lot of fun to listen to, and certainly doesn't bore the ears. John Chirico(percussionist) keeps a high tempo with the drums. All the guitars sound sick. The music breaks down at around 2:00 minutes to go off into a little solo, then another guitar joins in to pick the song right back up and end with a strong closing. Remember, I don't listen to a lot of bands so basically any guitar sounds sick to me!
The lyrics put out a familiar message. The theme is the growing up, and like others songs it teaches everyone money is a ridiculous thing, and you have to mature. Emotional Cash may speak of the money made from relationships, gold-digging. As Yvan Franel(singer) sings:
Because a little bit of emotional cash
Ain't gonna give you the chance to grow
If you think of Emotional Cash as what was mentioned above(money made from gold-digging), then that lyric means you'll never know how to survive on your own, and grow to be your own person. That growth is important for everyone. A common message in music, yet portrayed to the listener differently.
Certainly a great band, hell I'm not even into bands at all. More material like this and I will have all their tracks. A great group to help expand my taste for rock!
