This Week's Song Crush

'London Town' - William Control



 From 'Hate Culture', debut album from William Control, (Aiden singer WiL Francis' side project).

 The perfect example of goth-rock, 'Hate Culture' is about a man named William Control and his last night on earth before he kills himself... yup, it's a little morbid, and a lot emo, but i can't help but love this song. The final track on the record, 'London Town' is quite different to the rest of the leather-clad ,electro-synth-metal-dance tunes. The lyrics perfectly reflect the utter despair and isolation of a man disillusioned with love, the world around him and humanity in general, this is accompanied by a haunting melody to create a beautiful acoustic piece. Whether you're indulging in the grief of rejected love, or just in the mood for something slower, this song is the ideal melancholy accessory for your ever-so-'deep' and dejected wallowing.
