I can't take credit for anything - I was informed of this band by a very kind blogging friend - what a great creative ensemble of young musicians tucking into an orchestral feast! It's the sort of fete I'd rather join than watch!

Some music from Frightened Rabbit

I first heard of Frightened Rabbit on Captain Obvious' blog and then found this video on Youtube (not quite what I was expecting), it's an upbeat melodic piece - good pop music.

What struck me as particularly interesting in the post was that 'most of the lyrical content on the album's 14 tracks stems from lead singer Scott Hutchison's recent break up'. This may be taking advantage of his pain and may sound unsympathetic to those suffering from a broken heart but it struck me that there is so much energy that suffering generates - why not do what Scott has done and make an album, why wallow in one's sorrows and waste it? When something is lost there is always something to be gained. This is the paradox of life.

There is so much creativity that springs from love, but, in my some what limited experience, what is more poignant and moving is what one creates with a broken heart.
