If you're in the spirit to listen to a song that gets down into the morass of relationships that have failed, you must listen to Fiona Amaka, "No Daylight," song. It inherits the raw quality of the original and boosts it with a contemporary, Frameworks it crashes, assailing passages and growling bass lines that sound to shake like an 80s rock tidal wave that mingles with New British rock. It has that melancholy banger daggers which has been illuminating live performances and social media, and, very plainly, it makes you be part of it due to its ability to touch your heart.
In the very core of things, the words depict vividly a picture of betrayal and that rude shock that is wakened upon the misplaced allegiance. It has to do with that sick to-the-stomach feeling of having the person with whom you have spent the last several lives suddenly shift their loyalty in the wrong direction and making you wonder how you could ever trust them to be the best of all of them as they are embracing the darkness over the light, taking it as far as to decide that the reverse is better. This is the theme of compromises that are impossible--you cannot have it both ways in love when one half of them is made on false foundations of deceit and apathy.
It's a story of healing through time and letting go, and about killing parts of ourselves for people that couldn't care less. Note mood: Fiona has expressive soul singings that seem to alternate soft whispers to desperate shrieks to reflect that emotional roller coaster and it’s a thousand times realer like she is telling a personal scar and it is still raw.
I love how the otherworldly melodies keep the pace lively, and it culminates into intensity that keeps you glued and the dynamics adds layers of a sense of urgency that resonate with the agony of the lyrics. It has been hitting the pitch with people of all strands, providing that unproduced, arrest same indicator that Fiona enjoys. Being the heartbreak survivor with my own quota, this song has the quality of catharsis of a friend--touching, yet strong. Spin it over, it will save on your side.
