Rixton... A lot of people don't know them by their name. But most people however will recognize the song they're most famous for: Me and My Broken Heart. Not only is the band pretty to look at and British, they are also dripping with talent. Their song Hotel Ceiling is my newest music obsession. It's also the third single on their upcoming album Let the Road. The music is beautiful, moving, and the lyrics are meaningful. The song was co-wrote by Ed Sheeran, so judging by that fact, you know it's going to be great. There is no better song writer than Ed Sheeran.
The first time I encountered this song, it brought me to tears at the very first line. "I can see it coming round full circle my friend. On the TV they said that they had reported you dead". The versus are slower, but they still draw you in. When the chorus comes, it picks up just like most songs. In my experience, I got goose bumps. You know its a good song when it gives you goose bumps and makes you feel emotional.
Of course, if you are in love with a song you look up the music video. This video got the attention of a lot of people due to the unexpected ending. I didn't want to ruin the video for you (to me a music video is just like a movie) so if you haven't seen the video, click the link at the top! :) Anyways, at first listen the song is about a lost love. When you watch the video you get a whole new meaning from the song. The video starts with a girl getting a phone call that sent her into hysteria. Flashbacks of the her and her boyfriend show a perfect relationship slowly starting to fall apart. It appears to be just another video about losing the love of your life. The twist came at the very end when you find out that this girl is actually insane and killed her boyfriend. He was on the floor at the side of the bed the entire time. At the very end it shows the girl changing in to a wedding dress and cutting her hair. She returns to the bed where she grabs the limp hand of her dead boyfriend and places a wedding ring on his finger. She lays down and holds his hand while the police pull up to arrest her. The surprise ending got the attention of many people and definitely gave the song a whole new meaning!
Listen to the song, watch the video, and then listen to the song again! If you liked this song and know all the words to Me and My Broken heart, you should go check out the rest of their music. They are an amazing, incredibly talented band. They have a wide range of sound and are different than many of the other 'bands' flooding the radio. If you love music and you're looking for something different, look in to Rixton. :)
Peace. Love. Music.
