“Lightning” by Near Death Experience (NDX) is a beacon of positivity and poise. With a raucously infectious energy and ever so important message, the song showcases the spirit of these London-based Rock ‘n’ Soul Superheroes with pomp and splendour.
Right from the opening bars, “Lightning” hits you with a burst of chanting vocals, soaring acoustic guitars, driving basslines, and crashing cymbals. It’s continuously exciting, a riveting ride that has you transfixed and energised from start to finish.
At its core, the song is about perseverance and seizing every moment that comes your way. It passionately urges you to make the most of every second, to embrace challenges head-on, and to not feel discarded when things go south. You gotta roll with the punches as they come your way.
What makes “Lightning” truly special is its ability to deliver these honest and empowering messages with an unwavering positivity. The song’s sumptuous Sixties indie jangle and chiming guitar motifs add a touch of nostalgia and world-music influences, creating something nostalgic as well as progressive.
Sometimes all you need is a spark of flavourful positivity and Lightning brings that in droves.
