The Cinematic Orchestra - To build a home
The Cinematic Orchestra has sought the talents of Patrick Watson for their emotional new release 'To build a home'.
Forget strong guitars, pounding drums and an ace bass line. This soulful track has a smooth piano opening and the tinkling of keys like water trickling down a waterfall. The sweeping vocals gently integrate with the piano to form a stunning combination of musical ability. The melody is like magical fingers as the piano changes speed to form a more intense sound and volume. Towards the end the strings are added and the track builds to a climax full of possibilities.
If you're looking for something with a little more oomph, there are three other versions to have a listen to. Each has more strings and some tapping drums to tickle your taste buds. This is due in part to the track being on the national airwaves.
