Very little talk of professional wrestling ensues.
What follows is a song by Australian singer Sia, albeit one not "Elastic Hear," Shia LeBouf is not involved in anyway. Child star Maddy Ziegler was but a mere ten years old when the song was originally released as part of the Twilight: Eclipse Soundtrack. No wrestling choreography is seems and metaphors for youth, or the passage or time, are no where to be found.
Essentially, the "Elastic Heart" could pass of as an outtake from Jodorowky's Holy Mountain. At the very least, the result could be fodder for a metal parody. Interested parties are recommended to view the short-form film either way.
More applicable to "My Love" is South Park; specifically a theory credited to Eric Cartman. As stated on the 2003 episode, any pop song can turned into a Christian rock song. All it takes is the careful replacement of ambiguous nouns and any song can be exploited for other means. Such is the case on "My Love." Content, though, is largely irrelevant The instrumentation is carefully chosen for the song. Gentle sounds assure that all attention remains is on Sia's vibrato. Piano and strings sparsely carry the melody on the track builds up; as a ballad ought to do. Faint jazz drums appear late in the song, if one were so inclined to listen through its nearly five minute length
Much shorter, and in the author's opinion, much better, than the original is the Mix BwÉ (DMixbwé) and LyCoOx (DLycox) remix. Looking past the new and bizarrely minimal stylization of both beat-makers' names, the pairing does not disappoint. Similar to LyCoOx's recent dupla with with Puto Marcio "Love and Love" further explores the sample-based style. A long introduction crafts the melody to taste. Initially, only elements of the original - piano and string are - are fashioned in, for lack of a better word, a glitchy at way. Suddenly, a change begins to occur. The re-creation begins. Ambient synth is added as well as a sneaky semba guitar. By the time Sia's voice appear, lyrics content is rendered mute point; only the sounds are of important. The mere two lines from "My Love" serve just as much a melodic as rhythmic purpose.
The song itself is laid out in a familiar manner: two sections divided by an interlude. First on the track, after a is DMixbwé with a kick/hi-hat beat; claps and cowbell provide syncopation. Only comparisons, unfortunately, once again, can be used to describe the samples and none do them justice. The piano and vocals, along with the beat, create a helix of different rhythms. Well mixed bass lingers around the, as well, making an impression all its own. During the interlude, percussion vanishes. In a brief appearance LyCoOx gives the track a batuco flavor with new percussive elements. Bass is present, is not used to explore with the groove with equal ferocity.
As unlikely as romantic, vegetarian vampires, the joint forces have accomplished a feat just as unlikely: making a very good dance track from an otherwise unremarkable number.
