Song name analysis 2

Music not only relies on sound, artist aesthetics and general artist style, but also the name of songs. This is regarded as an important part of the creation of a new track, as music downloads are vastly overtaking hard copies of records being bought, a solid, original song name is important if a song or album is to become a viral hit. 

The indie/alternative rock music artist Jake Bugg, is known for both his unique style in sound and in song names. The young artist, from Birmingham, has only recently arrived on the music scene, he rose to fame after writing and recording the song 'Lightning bolt', which quickly became a favourite of indie/alternative rock fans.

Some of Jake Bugg's songs include:

Slumville sunrise

All your reasons

Storm passes away

Kitchen table

The names of these songs provide the listener and audience with a small idea of what the song may be about, but do not provide a full insight, as the names are often two or three words, which offer little detail. A variety of his songs include the use of concrete nouns such as 'pine trees' and 'kitchen table' show an unusual method of son naming, as the context of the song is so unclear. This is a feature that would appeal to the 'mysterious' and 'emotionless' fans of indie/alternative rock.
