Riff: Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros – “In the Lion”

Jul 22, 2013

I feel the love, I feel the love/I feel the love, I feel the power/La, lala, la, lala, la, la

from In the Lion lyrics by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

The Zeros’ take on George Michael‘s “Faith” (and many other Bo Diddley cop-outs) tweaks the formula with Rastafari references thrown on top, swaddled between two tons of reverb and reverse delay, all of it tied together with an obligatory love-centric refrain (a requirement for every Sharpe track).
