Song of the Day

Atmosphere - "The Last To Say"
A truly chilling and haunting song from Atmosphere's The Family Sign. I'm so glad they made a video for this song because the message of this song needs to be heard. This won't get any radio rotation, but it deserves to as the group discusses domestic abuse and the ramifications it has. There's no happy ending here, but Slug urges his friend to leave an abusive boyfriend who follows in his father's footsteps of beating a loved one. This is what music should be about, delivering a message and making you think. This is a live version of the group's performance on 89.3 The Current, as I couldn't get the official video link. But this performance is a great representation of the song as well.
