Stayed Up All Night ... You Know the Rest

Sometimes people think this site is called Bury Me Not because I prefer to post non-current songs that folks might have forgotten about. Whenever somebody asks me about that, I explain that I don’t really want to prescribe a meaning for the name of the site, that whatever people want “bury me not” to mean is cool with me.

And then usually somebody calls me a wanker. As they should, as they should.

But the point is I don’t necessarily have anything against brand-new songs or against posting them. So here’s one now.

• Wil, “Wedding Dress”

I particularly like the throat-clearing bits at the beginning – the almost-orchestral intro (which to my classic rock-damaged ears sounds just a note or two away from morphing into “Baba O’Riley”) and then the bass pulse. The song proper, once it’s underway, is a bit more conventional in sound, maybe (at least to my classic rock-saturated ears), but it will raise the anthemnic quotient around here, which is welcome. And the bass pulse and the orchestral bits make a little return, which is also welcome.

Wil is a Canadian dude and you can learn more about him here. “Wedding Dress” is, I believe, from his upcoming second album.
