Lewca – Like Liam Gallagher
He was the king of the world for a million reasons that were not of his own making. He’d got his brother to write songs for his band. He’d inherited good looks, and when he put his hands behind his back and belted out the notes, it kinda sounded like John Lydon trying to cover “Imagine.” Liam Gallagher had it all, then lost it.
And, suddenly, all the luck was taken away. Gallagher needed to fight to get it all back. It was sad, it was occasionally demeaning (such as having to front Beady Eye), and, eventually, it turned into an inspiring story when Oasis got to tour stadiums again.
Of course, Lewca, an artist known for his irreverent humour, love of messy Brit-approved indie, and his own tale of beating the odds, would be infatuated with the Oasis frontman. “Like Liam Gallagher” is, would you believe it, the song that the world needs circa 2026. It’s a swaggering song dedicated to a man who once claimed to be the reincarnation of John Lennon, regardless of the fact that he was born while Lennon was still alive. Lewca is back, looking on the bright side of things, and embracing life and all the success it can provide just as Gallagher does.
K-MIDAS – Homeward
Pop music has always been as light as a sheet of paper. It’s been designed to be something that you can carry around, that you can pass around to someone else, that you can sell to any type of audience without having to do much work to persuade them.
But what does pop music really mean? Most of the pop hits are all over the charts one day and then gone forever the next. Few think of ever hearing them again. Few bother thinking about them.
However, real people tend to have real problems. And judging by statistics and your own life examples, I’m sure you’ll know that regular folks are dealing with more extraordinary problems every day. This is why K-MIDAS writes pop songs about things that matter.
“Homeward” is, we are told, a song written from the personal experience of drug abuse and rehabilitation. Still, hearing it, and knowing what it takes for someone to free themselves from these things, “Homeward” sounds like a song of truth and hope. This one is actually a pop song that shouldn’t just disappear into nothingness.
