HERE COMES THE SONG

These Frightening Machines has a quiet majesty with songs of nostalgia, reflection, love, mortality, anger, longing and belonging. Priddy maintains her fascination for figures of classical mythology with the gorgeous Atlas, our Song of the Week at herecomesthesong.com. The man who was forced to carry the universe on his shoulders is used as a metaphor for a friend of Priddy who was struggling but was too proud to admit it and seek help.

Midlake have been in mischievous mood, creating a cryptic album title to confuse the grammarians among us. Think of Far as a place, and the ‘to’ rather than ‘too’ makes sense. A Bridge To Far is a beautiful track, our final Song Of The Week of 2025 at herecomesthesong.com, and my favourite album of the year.
