Tin Man

Future Islands, a Boston based electro-pop group, is one of my favorite bands. Tin Man is one of their songs that really speaks to me.

It sets the mood with some bright steel drum chords with just the right amount of reverb followed by some subtle guitar chords. And then comes in Samuel Herring's very distinct vocals. The song has a really bright tone.

One of the best things about this song is the fact that it's so easy to relate to. The lyrics can mean anything to anyone. It talks of the tin man and I think that it's alluding to the Wizard of Oz and the fact that the tin man want's a heart.

If you haven't heard this song it's definitely worth listening to. While you're at it listen to their song Balance. It's a song that's all about the fact that time heals all wounds.

Thank you guys for reading and if you have any suggestions for my blog or songs you want me to review feel free to drop a comment on this post.

Cheers,
