Money - Colm Donnelly (Pop) Colm Donnelly is the everyman in his latest track “Money”, as he uses clever and memorable lyrics to lament the looming despair that comes with existing on the ground floor in a post-capitalist society. With a lilting and dreamy guitar lilt hanging in the back to frame the track, crisp punchy percussion complete with bells and bongos punctuate as the thrashing of a rock guitar enters to punch up the choruses. The entire affair has a late 90s alt rock feel, with Colm’s grungy baritone and delivery reminding us a bit of The Offspring. But what truly makes this track a winner are the clever, relatable and poetically specific lyrics. It was hard to pick our favorite.
Best Lyric: “These lump sum bills are known to kill when you gotta pay them all at once.”
