Birds and Batteries establishes the rhythm and instrumentation from the first second of the song: Stranger Kind of Mirror. Then there is a vocal harmony that says: we’re here, before a voice you think you’ve heard before (Petty anyone?). Cabernet Sauvignon is (rightly or wrongly) the mirror by which the best wines of California are judged—the most sought-after red wine. The song is dark and rich, bittersweet with a halo of reverb. At the same time as the bitterness, there is a hint of hopefulness about the realization of the mirrors of life. Like the structure of the Nth Degree Cabernet Sauvignon, the bass line and drum is a simple grove, yet is coherent, cohesive, and with exceptional integrity—it does not draw attention to itself, but is a solid foundation. This foundation allows for the vocals and keys to shine, like the classic structure of the Nth Degree Cabernet Sauvignon, which allows for the beautiful aromas of cassis, leather, tobacco and black cherry. When you think the song is done, there is a resurrection as if to say: the story’s been told, now meditate on it. Like the strong finish to this Cabernet Sauvignon, there is plenty upon which to reflect. |
