There are a couple of reasons why this far-too-often overlooked gem of musical excellence made it in to my All-Time Top 25.<\/p>\n
The opening lyrics is one reason:<\/p>\n
‘Pull the blindfold down,\nUntil your eyes can’t see.\nNow run as fast as you can,\nThrough this field of trees’<\/p>\n
Mean anything to you?<\/p>\n
To me they perfectly describe a brilliant yet haunting scene in the 2001-released, Spanish film ‘Intacto’.<\/p>\n
And that film – Intacto – is one of my all-time favourite films.<\/p>\n
Hearing those lyrics sung transports me back to the cinema where I sit, engrossed in\/shocked by that film.<\/p>\n
In equal measures.<\/p>\n
Aside from chiming with a thought-provoking film, ‘Smokers \u00a0Outside The Hospital Doors’ has much to recommend it from a musical angle too.<\/p>\n
I love the way the track subtly builds to an almost noisesome yet easily overlooked crescendo.<\/p>\n
The subtle backing vocals play a brilliant supporting role, often hidden by the screaming guitarwork.<\/p>\n
It’s a work of underlying subtlety which has to be mined.<\/p>\n
I do love the film Intacto.<\/p>\n
I also love this track.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
