As I walk through frozen sands/Through the flames of burning glands/I fear a tone, they’re torn to strands/I will not thirst
from I Shall Rise lyrics by Karen O
With a sparse guitar intro very reminiscent of Nancy Sinatra’s “Bang Bang,” Karen O’s spin on the Gloria Gaynor “I Will Survive” motif disappoints as recycled material at first. However, it builds with marching snare buzz-rolls, crashing cymbals, a slight twist on the “Be My Baby” rhythm, and the rest of the kitchen sink. All said, it’s a great fit for first-person video game action; [LISTEN].
