MP3: Broder Daniel - Dark heart

The darker side of GBG is best represented by Broder Daniel, yet another classic act that captures the spirit of the city in an entirely different way. On the other hand, the thing that makes BD so fantastic is their ability to capture the anytime/anywhere feeling of overwhelming suburban teen angst so perfectly. Few tracks convey that as well as "Shoreline" (especially the Anna Ternheim version), but I've decided to dig a bit deeper with "Dark heart" from 1998's "Broder Daniel forever".

Waiting in line / On the underground
I want to be / A part of life
But the heart is too dark / It bears your mark
The heart is too dark / It bears your mark

I hear the call of that wind-tunnel guitar tone, those unmistakable leads and Henrik Berggren's unique voice and I'm transported back to high school. The feelings on unrequited love and social anxiety come back to me, but it's alright - because Broder Daniel makes you feel less alone and alienated. If I had actually heard them at such a young, formidable age, I bet that BD would have been my favorite band.
