A song about anger and alcohol. A film about London.
The song was inspired by The Handsome Family’s ‘So Much Wine’. The visuals are inspired by Walter Ruttmann’s Berlin: Symphony of a Great City (1927.)
As always I’d love to hear what you think. Enjoy!
Is that you singing and playing guitar?
I really like this – the music and images go well together.
Hey thanks Aaron,
I’m really, really chuffed that you like it, thanks!
Yes it’s me singing and playing – and I wrote the song (‘write the theme tune, sing the theme tune’!) It’s a recording that I made about 7 years ago. I’ve sort of put away my song-writing for that many years and am just starting to think about picking it up again.
It’s one of a number of songs that I wrote and recorded back then that I want to put up here as soon as I can find appropriate visuals… But I’ll bring you a CD next time we meet up if you like..
I’m impressed, I never knew you were a songster. You should pick it up again.
Hi Ben,
Wow – very impressed with this. I’d forgotten you said you used to write songs. I thought this was a professional job until I re-read it. Must meet for a film soon – though it’s a bit of a duff month at the nft i think.

Cheers Sam!
Professional, eh? Cool! Definitely up for a movie soon, tho you’re not wrong about the bfi/nft this month.. Will email etc!
Ben.
