Remember when Malcolm Middleton reminded us “We’re All Going to Die”? Well for the pragmatists amongst you, you’ll not be surprised by the fact that reality hasn’t changed. This time it is the turn of Glasgow’s Slime City to remind us of the fact we are all mortal with the wonderful “You and Everybody That You Love Will One Day Die”
Challenging Win for song title length (It May Be Beautiful Sky Tonight But It’s Only a Shelter for a World at Risk) this three minutes of blissful hook laden trashy rock makes you feel cool about the fact we’re going to go the way of all flesh one day as the song charms and enchants. The choppy vocals recommend we “cling to anything” as they make us feel good “life is finite and it’s meaningless”. Cheers! I jest of course, much like Malcolm’s song that preceded this, I love the boundless energy and the blatantly tongue in cheek matter of fact lyrics.
So, remember “Absolutely nothing that you do can guarantee you will survive”, we’re here for a good time, not a long time – enjoy yourself, its later than you think…
