Local Natives - World News

Favorite lyrics: And a cloud covers your car at just the right time / for you to see the dark on your face / in the mirror

The melody for Local Native's 'World News' starts in the vocals, moving to the guitar and frenzied drumbeat only after establishing that these boys have some voices. The song is all about perspective and the story inside it is a simple one, but it's written so uniquely and with such a different approach that it's really heady. It holds a kind of delicate substance, and the song itself accomplishes the same effect as the character in the lyrics goes through, a shift in outlook even if it's just for a few minutes. It's a powerful song hidden in catchy music, a clever combination of depth and dance.
