Operation Life

Operation Life Sly Witt

Amazing inspired and beautifully strange song....Emotionally resonating,magical and timeless..

Sounding life a long lost progressive-pop classic from the 70s-its difficult to believe so few people even know about this song..Would they care nowadays even if they were exposed to its fragile beauty and haunting melodic majesty ?

Maybe not-such is life nowadays sadly..

I love the vulnerability of the vocal reminding me of Robert Wyartt-the wonderfully natural n poetic lyric about finding strength thru pain..

The suprising n skillful feint of the 'operation life' pre-chorus after the moody cello beginning part..Then we're led by the hand round the corner that suddenly reveals the beautiful sun-coming-out anthemic chorus..
This is songwriting at its very best..Suprising,heartfelt,timeless and totally natural.

Not just one of my top songs from unsigned indie artists online-but one of my favourite songs EVER..
Yeh,its that good
Thanx so much for the inspiration :)
