Swedish
House Mafia ft John Martin
– Don’t You Worry Child
The
song that will make grown men cry…
Swedish House
Mafia have been the main ambassadors for house music these past few years and
have fuelled the genre through smashes such as One, Miami-Ibiza, Save the World and Greyhound. Their two Youtube accounts have had a cumulative 190 million
views and they have made history by performing at both, Madison Square and Milton
Keynes Bowl.
In June 2012 the
trio revealed that they would be splitting and that Don’t You Worry Child would be their last single together. It was
first played live at Milton Keynes Bowl and received its radio premiere on Friday
by Pete Tong, who has previously had the first plays of Save the World and Greyhound.
The group
have gone out with a very strong, dramatic and epic bang as Don’t You Worry Child holds all of the ingredients
to go down in the history books, and will stay with us forever. The song utilises
its power in the various parts of its complex and eclectic structure to
maximum potential. John Martin, who collaborated with them on Save the World has returned with his
heart wrenching, chasmic and abyssal vocals. He helps to fuel and build the
enchanted climax that donates to the soaring energy-charged peaks and troughs of
the anthem.
Maybe they
could have included more of their house sounds of One and Miami-Ibiza, but understandably
their main aim is to ensure that they don’t repeat their previous work. The
production is otherwise effortlessly faultless, conjuring the unique spin that Swedish
House Mafia can maintain so effectively. The addition of guitar strums moulds
it into an even more dynamic piece and the house beats grow into a blossoming
expanse to perfect its magic and plot a decisive ending.
Some fans
might find Don’t You Worry Child a bit too slow and lacks the high intensity house
injection but the song is inescapably suitable for the trio’s last single. The
lyrics’ unmistakeable message endeavours to comfort millions of their fans by reassuringly
stating that “Heaven has a plan for [them]”. The overall package is a colourful,
omnipotent, heart-warming and reverberating conclusion to Swedish House Mafia’s
short but sweet career.

I can say the music video allotted for the song is really effective to the audience. Why? I have not been a particular fan of SHM but I am able to feel so much the tremendous emotional feeling due to the fact that they are leaving the music industry. All these clips depicted in the video will make us feel it, especially those showing the 3 men behind SHM themselves. The last seconds of the video is the most tearjerker, I can tell.
ReplyDeleteI just love the way this review of yours of the song effectively adds up to this emotional feeling I was stressing about earlier. Good job :)
