Song of the Day 24/12/2008

The Acorn - Flood Pt. 1


A nice & lavish one for you on Christmas Eve. In the mould of those festive favourites the Snowman and, er, Wallace and Gromit, it's a beautifully animated tale apparently based on the life of the singer's Honduran mother. A penny falls from the sky and starts a chain of fantastical events, before the cycle starts over again. A bit like a mythical version of the butterfly effect I suppose.

Song's rather nice too - lovely rhythms and harmonies, coupled with evocative lyrics and a bit of good ol' clapping.
