Once I listened to this song, it inspired me to forever be a better person. I copied it onto a USB drive and played it in my car as I drove halfway across the country to give my grandma a hug because that was the most fitting way I could contrive in the way of celebrate such a rich and much-needed addition to our culture that this song brought about. It even kept me awake during the entirety of the five-day drive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Listen and follow the band.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"me-4 \" href=\"https:\/\/vandalofhearts.co.uk\/\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"social-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/app.musosoup.com\/images\/social-web.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"me-4 \" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/artist\/7K3jIuGAclSdlrFIm0NCNt\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"social-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/app.musosoup.com\/images\/social-spotify.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"me-4 \" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC0AJWHr841J03_R3MtuW6nA\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"social-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/app.musosoup.com\/images\/social-youtube.png\" \/><\/a><i class=\"fas fa-link icon-size pt-1\"><\/i><\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"border-radius: 12px;\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed?uri=spotify%3Atrack%3A1CThKuYJMCkoeGiX7aGKSs\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100\" frameborder=\"0\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;\" class=\"mce_SELRES_start\">\ufeff<\/span><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Blissy &#8211; the leading track from my debut album, Bad Dream &#8211; is a tribute to music. It was inspired by my desire to explore what I believe music to be capable and incapable of. In this sense, I think Blissy is rare &#8211; because, whilst music can help us feel better and provoke thought (a gift in itself), it cannot cure personal ills (at least, this is what I&#8217;ve found); I don&#8217;t think this is often said. The most notable aspect of Blissy is its riff, which employs my classical approach to electric guitar playing.<\/p>\n<p>As for Vandal of Hearts as a whole, I&#8217;d say the music could be characterized by harmonic curiosity, lyrical sardonicism and arty minimalism. It&#8217;s fair to say the focus is on the guitar; however, my intention is to explore the full range of possibilities the guitar provides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The way the different melody and lyrics lines flow together seamlessly offers up a decadence of grace that can be experienced by all five senses.
