Yon Yonson – No Enemy
Firstly, thank you Yon Yonson for being artists with a vision, for taking us on a journey that we didn’t necessarily expect. I’m talking of course of the binary structure of this song. Listening to this song we can hear that there is a clearly delineated A and B section, the first being characterised by something that sounds suspiciously like a stripped back piano ballad, and the second as a more visceral, beat-based electronic passage which is (from a production point) stunning, and to which youths of today will certainly find it easy to ‘groove’ to at a ‘live gig’.
Secondly, I’d like to say I’m so damn sick of songs that are about nothing. This is why I’m so damn into ‘No Enemy’. The lyrics are temporal and pertinent to this time and place, painting a highly personal description of confusion in a seemingly hostile world. There’s substance here, a flavour that isn’t vanilla; one you can completely eat up or AT LEAST react against if you hate it. The reverb-infused sound of a lonely piano suits the autobiographical vibe of the song perfectly. It almost feels as if the B section is a regression into a safe place, like too much thinking can be destructive. Which it can, so let’s not over analyse things anymore. It’s certainly the most ballsy, interesting oddball tune I’ve heard in a while. Also any lyricist that uses ‘analgesic’ instead of ‘pain killers’ has my vote.
