Last week one of my friends made me listen to the song "Secret" by The Pierces. They said it was creepy and dark and that I'd absolutely love it, and they were absolutely right. That night when I got home I bought the entire album 'Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge', which was money well spent. I hadn't heard of this duo before, but if you like Lana Del Rey and Melanie Martinez like I do, then you'll really enjoy The Pierces as well.
Also, apparently 'Secret' is the theme song to 'Pretty Little Liars', which I haven't seen and now I really want to watch it because I love this song so much. The singing is chilling and the lyrics are catchy as well as extremely twisted. And to add to that, the fairground sound that is accompanying all of this, just is the icing on the cake. I played this song to my dad the other day and compared it with Melanie Martinez's 'Dead To Me', which too had the threatening suggestion explicitly expressed in the lyrics. I also mentioned that it reminded me of the eeriness present in Tim Burton-esque films. Imagine a film in The Corpse Bride style, with this song... just realised that may be why they chose it as the Pretty Little Liars theme song... okay, I'll stop talking now.
So, just a short post today, but hope you enjoy 'Secret'
