Song of the Day #63: “Mornings Eleven,” by The Magic Numbers

30 Sep

Well we have had a role reversal today. Anthony took the lyric of the day from me. He just snatched it from me behind my back. Unfortunately, I cannot photoshop, so I will just settle for a Song of the Day. No particular reason for this one except for the fact that it is an incredible work of harmony and infectious rhythm and sound.

The Magic Numbers are from Greenford in West London and consist of a pair of brothers and sisters which I think is just splendid. In 2002 they released their first album The Magic Numbers and it hit major success among the indie crowd. I’d like to talk about why and the big reason for it is the title track, “Mornings Eleven.”

The Magic Numbers

I will be frank. I say a lot of songs are good. What would be the point of running a blog and specifically focusing on bad music. Well, if you remember from the summer, we tried to start a bad music portion where we could just pan horrible music. It did not carry like expected but, what the heck, maybe we will bring it back. With good songs comes a lot of loquacious mumbo jumbo from me in an attempt to make you agree. Here, with “Mornings Eleven,” I know you will like it.  The song is perfectly crafted. Its use of harmony is impecable. It changes effortlessly and each new portion is better then the other. It is an absolute delight to here this song and I hope to share it with you.
