Outasight "Nights Like These"

For Nights Like These we need a sound that is Outasight. Ready? “Let’s Go!” First song sounds like one of Black-Eyed Peas more rock inflected cuts, and that is not a bad thing. The chorus is what leaves something to be desired; it lacks the energy that the occasionally clunky verses offer, but maybe it is best that way. “Shine” is impeccable, from the hook to the message, and “What you think of me, I’m not interested.”                                                                                                            What about a pub-rocker that could be found on a Flogging Molly album; with a little tweaking? “I’ll Drink To That.” As for the “Perfect Words” I’ll lay them straight, “And it's easy to jump than get up and walk, so we sit around and wait/For the words to come up that might inspire us/To stop f****** up and change our fate.”                                                                                                          Are you in the mood for a fun song that could be forged by Earth, Wind and Fire? “Ready Set Go.” It’s grounded with a funky disco rhythm, while the breakdown and chorus lift you up, and his delivery may be a little petty, but there is a fire burning. “If I Fall Down” is a document of the realization that is a tried and true cliché, but how will you know? The first single aroused my interest in this guy, and after waiting a few months “Tonight is the Night” I can finally hear what else he has to offer, or at least write about it.                                                                                 “Under Lock and Key” may be one of the most distinctive songs; I tend to think of Travie McCoy. “WHAT?!” What about Travie McCoy on a Beatles fix? Now that reference may bring some those dagger stares to the forefront causing them to materialize out of thin air!                                           Change of subject! The lyrical aspect is familiar, but I love this song over the one about some exhibitionist on a tightrope. “Now or Never” says it plainly : “When you start to think about taking a chance you can't give a d***.” While the title track seems like it’s about the dreamers that never wake up, so they don’t have a chance to achieve them. Favorites: Shine, I’ll Drink To That, Ready Set Go, Tonight is the Night, Under Lock and Key, and Now or Never.
