Passion by. AWOLNATION Review
Ladies and gentleman the boys in AWOLNATION are back! And this past week they put out a single titled "Passion", off of their upcoming third studio album that is not yet named. Needles to say, all of us who are fans of the group are excited for it. Even if it has only been a year since their latest release. So I can't wait to dive in, breakdown the lyrics, and review this song! So, let's get to it!
Verse One: The narrator seems to be speaking to someone who has either very little passion, or has lost their passion. "I found a potion for fixing passion. Go tell your home-girls, get their reaction. Out on the ocean for satisfaction. Go tell your home-girls, what's their reaction?" As these lyrics begin, they narrow it down to the narrators subject being a female one. This could be a current, former, or future lover. The person has a lack of passion, and the narrator thinks they have what it takes to fix it. The narrator also seems to believe that her friends, and her to an extent, are skeptical that the narrator actually can cure the lack of passion.
Verse Two: The verse is a continuation of verse one's theme. "I got a potion it fixes passion. Don't leave me floating out of the action. I'm sorry happy belated birthday. Go tell the whole world, wonder what they'll say?" Clearly the narrator knows this person enough to remember that their subjects birthday had past. They are still reaching out to fix their passion. Only this time it seems like the narrator wants their subject to tell the whole world about their cure. They want them to here about it, to see if they actually would believe it.
Choruses/Refrain/Bridge: The choruses are a fun little dig into the verses. "You got a little you could use much more. Pa-pa-pa-passion (ooh). Pa-pa-pa-passion (ooh). Blow my mind. Blow my mind. Pa-pa-pa-passion (ooh). Pa-pa-pa-passion (ooh). Blow my mind. Blow my mind. Blow my mind. Blow my..." A nice little dig into what you hear in these verses, with the narrator telling their subject that they need more passion, so that she can blow their mind. Then the bridge comes in towards the end of the song with these lyrics, "P-p-p-please don't go won't you blow my mind. Blow my mind. Blow my mind. Please don't go won't you blow my mind. Blow my mind". This seems like the narrators last push to get the subject to stay, change her passion, and be the one for the narrator.
Technical Review/Closing Statements: Now on to the "Review" part of this, if you don't count the lyric breakdown a review. As for the technical aspects of the song, the production of the song is pretty tight. The studio work is great and the folks at Red Bull Records are doing a great job. The songs instrumental composition sound like a lot of their previous works, such as "Sail" and a more progressive "Hollow Moon (Bad Wolf)". So the style is definitely up their alley. However, I do think the guitars are a little too processed. I believe that if the weren't as processed then the song could have taken on a different, more emphatic, and driven feel. Whereas this song does have more of the laid back feel, and possibly misses a level that could make it so much better. Especially when working as a contrast to the synth and keys. But that's just me spouting some technical bits that could possibly just be personal preference. But possibly not. Anyways, the song is awesome and I cannot wait to see what their entire album sounds like.
