"I'M IN LOVE WITH MY LIFE"-PHASES
All RIGHT!
Now here's a track that's all about the groooove... a feel... your state of mind.
I've been listening to this song quite a while -- since its release last Spring -- and it's about time I passed it on to all of you who dig a smooth, sweet, well produced, uptempo, uplifting pop song.
"I'm In Love With My Life" comes from Phases -- four-fifths of 2013's JJAMZ -- a group of talented LA musicians who have roots in the bands The Like, Rilo KIley, Bright Eyes and Phantom Planet. And if -- upon your first listen -- you immediately recall radio from the Eighties, congratulations! You just happen to be in-phase with the dudes and dudette of Phases as they themselves defined their new project as, "...if Blondie made Thriller."
Guitarist, vocalist Z-Berg explained, "The songs sound fun because it was fun. I had never written songs about anything fun before in my life."
Sure, the lyrics ain't too deep. But, it's the perfect tune to crank-up when you're heading out to meet friends for a few beverages after a long-ass day at work on a Friday night. First, augment the volume, then drop the bass a bit and you'll be ready to add your own vocals to the mix.
As far as the song's inspiration, well... it was actually quite basic. As Z-Berg remembers, it came down to "'I'm in a great mood... let’s write a song about it!'"
Now, go ahead... take a chance and let your body move!
