Build Something Else

Populous with Short Stories “Porcelain” – “Porcelain” hovers about in a state of indecision, but there’s a bit of pressure within the song to actually go ahead and commit to an emotion, a project, a way of living. It’s a gentle pressure, for sure, but it’s there and it is leaning towards embracing some kind of positive expression and creativity, rather than apathy, cowardice, or emptiness. The music has a slight melancholy tone, but the beat and the sound of the vocals give the piece a cautiously optimistic sound before trailing off into an emotionally ambiguous instrumental coda.  (Click here to buy it from Kompakt MP3.)
