Song of the Day - Make a Wish

Today's song of the day is another one from a band that has split up and gone their separate ways. English Indie-Rock band Air Traffic, who had limited success with their album Fractured Life, reaching 42 in the UK charts. Lead singer Chris Wall is now part of another band who aren't particularly well known, called Soft Bullets. They are more piano-heavy than many indie bands, but that sets them apart from a lot of bands.

This is Shooting Star:

So What's So Good?

Opening on a simple piano tune, Wall kicks in with his stunning voice. His voice is so diverse and pleasant, hitting the falsetto high notes but also the lower notes perfectly. The piano is simple but fits well with his voice, before the guitars and drums kick in.

The crash of the drums and guitars brings the song to life, whilst the drums drive the song along through to the chorus. The guitar work is fairly simple but effortlessly combines with the other instruments. It's a fairly unoriginal love song, but it's still a very good song.

It's a good song all round, but the star of the show has to be Chris Wall, whose incredible voice makes the song such a good indie-rock hit.
