Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friend recently released a new song called “By Your Bed.” There are various elements in the music that will keep us captivated. In my opinion, the development genuinely sets the tone for the song, which is quite passionate and gorgeous. There are also profound sections in the poetry that are both passionate and transport us into the world of the song. When the music stops, we’ll be dropped right into the heart of the story. The scene is perfectly conveyed in the writing, and it remains fresh in our memories. The song contains visual descriptions that will stay with us and make it memorable. It’s sincere and dripping with love. We’ll become thoroughly engrossed in the piece.
“By Your Bed,” a stirring new single from Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends, is reminiscent of classic composition by Jeff Lynne and Paul McCartney. The introductory lyrics are complemented with a morbidity by tender guitars and a warming keyboard. Arne sings, “‘I can’t believe it’s time to die,’ I heard you mumble in your sleep,” expressing life’s melancholy moments. The track’s blending of introspective verses and exuberant verses is enjoyably indicative of life’s numerous twists and turns, with vocal exultation, melodic guitar shimmers, and a lively rhythm section expanding through the chorus.
By Your Bed, their latest single, is a positively anthemic and poignant ballad about sitting by a dying loved one’s bedside. This is a significant departure from their previous single, which we evaluated. Firebird was a lot more country rock-oriented song. By Your Bed demonstrates the variety of this eclectic Swedish outfit, and this song has made us fall in love with their music even more. With vocals and guitar, By Your Bed jumps right in. At first, it has a musical theatre air to it. We felt we couldn’t possibly be reviewing a song by another band called “Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends” because it’s so different from their previous track!
The exquisite, Dire Straits-style, quiet guitar incidentals are an exciting and stylish touch, and there’s a lovely understated shaker that adds to the mix. In the choruses, some lovely harmonies, as well as some hammond work, round out the sound well. There’s also some lovely Strawberry Fields-style flute (mellotron?) in the mix. The swell and energy in the choruses reminded us of Supertramp at times, and the unexpected (not simply the predicted “one tone up” key shift) was perfectly timed and gave tremendous drama to the song. The song’s calm passages are outstanding. The vocal and incidental balance is quite pleasing to listen to.
The choruses soar, although we think the voices become a little lost in the mix at this point. Compression, additional volume, and possibly more top end might help them sit more clearly in the mix. Aside from this one minor change, we think this track is simply wonderful and one that we will be playing over and over again for a long time. By Your Bed is a sincere, emotionally soaring work of art that blends excellent story telling, amazing musicianship, and some truly elegant scoring.
