This song, as far as I know, is the most recent thing Mick Jones (and Tony James) recorded and released as Carbon/Silicon. It's a lovely, mellow tune with a smile-and-the-world-smiles-with-you kind of feel and an I'm-a-survivor kind of message. It'll make you feel good, possibly a little teary, a bit seasonal. There are Santas in the video. Good work Mick.
Much as I love The Clash and BAD, I've struggled with some of Carbon/Silicon's output. Not so 'Big Surprise' though. When this arrived 18 months ago, I thought we might be on the verge of a batch of top drawer new Mick Jones material, but since then, silence. Let's hope he has plans for 2015.
ReplyDeleteI think he wants to put his feet up to be honest. C/S's Why Do Men Fight? is top drawer.
