Benedict October – Lust For Life
“Lust For Life” by Benedict October is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that includes a trippy narrative with a dark pop twist. Martijn Smits, under his musical alter ego Benedict October, delivers an ethereal musical tale inspired by the likes of Nick Cave, accompanied by a musical composition that merges elements of light pop, Americana, and garage rock into a slow, hypnotic rhythm. From the first note, the track envelops you in a cinematic, atmospheric world. The acoustic elements provide a delicate backdrop, while the vocals, painted with dark romanticism, draw you deeper into the story. There’s a sense of longing and introspection in the singer’s voice as they unravel a soul-searching journey, culminating in the challenging declaration, “I just lost my lust for life.” The slow tempo allows each note to linger, building an immersive atmosphere that transports listeners to another realm. At around the 02:54 mark, a subtle surge of electricity adds a new dimension to the music, momentarily shifting the mood before seamlessly returning to its slow, atmospheric pace. This unexpected twist only enhances the overall experience, adding depth and complexity to the romantic narrative.”Lust For Life” is a track that stays with you long after the final note fades, leaving behind a lingering sense of melancholic beauty.
