Galaxy Disco is an original rock and roll/folk punk tune penned and composed by myself around mid-late 2020, which is inspired by a particular childhood event and includes themes such as youthful rebellion and the concept of finding happiness and light within darkness. Musical influences for this track include David Bowie, David Byrne, The Rolling Stones, Glass Animals, and The Black Keys.
The single starts with the strums of an acoustic guitar which sets a chilled mood, the gripping vocals soon follow and awaken every hair on the back of your neck as you listen to the catchy sound which will have you tapping along.
The lyrics are so relatable, I feel any listener will be able to connect with the lyrics in one way or another. They really draw you into this song and will have you hooked and listening to every single word. I found after listening to this track once I had the lyrics stuck in my head for the rest of that day, sometime this is the worse thing to happen but that was not the case this time. This showed how catchy and relatable I found the lyrics and how much I enjoyed listening to the song.
Great job!
10/10
