John Hancock - Left Me


If you like pop music we fail to see how you cannot love this new song from ANR front man John Hancock. All tropical grooves, thumps, shiny samples, keyboard twinkles, harmonies and a hook that’s hookier than Captain Hook’s hook, Left Me sounds like it's heading for a journey to paradise. Lyrically it might not all be gold and glitter though even if musically this song is what we'd imagine a rainbow to sound like. “You said goodbye, then kept trying to say hello, what were you’re reasons for keeping me on hold?” John questions before adding “I tried and tried to move on my life, you keep on returning so I never get it right.” Oh, relationships, they’re so confusing aren’t they? Why does anyone have them? Well, if we didn’t the world of pop would probably be very empty wouldn’t it? Keep mucking them up musicians, your songs rely on you doing so.
