Orlando’s Favorite 11 Songs of 2011

Twins by Gem Club

Okay, I can say a lot about this song.  I’ll try to condense in just a few sentences.  Well, it’s a beautiful, beautiful song.  Musically, it’s dramatic and dark.  I have no clue what the singer is talking about because I’m still so stuck on the melody.  He’s She’se got such a unique and gorgeous voice.  Also, this is just silly, but at 1:02 into the track you’ll hear a musical phrasing that sounds exactly like the main theme from Downton Abby and since I absolutely love that music it’s a double whammy for me.  Also, at 1:19 into the track you’ll hear what sounds like someone hammering on the piano.  It’s not even in beat.  Knocking against the piano!  I love it.  Its ridiculous but I love that it’s there.  This is a great song.
