A hooky rock success from Orlando-based quartet The Spinning Stillness, “Live It” invokes an early ’00s nostalgia in its breezy guitar pulses and expressive vocal melodics. Quaint guitar strums, pit-pattering percussion, and warming bass traverse into a “staying up too late / living the dream” vocal opening.
The initial introspection swells into a punchy, replay-inducing ardency — preceded by Strokes-esque guitar lines, into a “just to live it” soaring vocal catharsis. “Saw you downtown a year ago,” a reflective sense continues into another memorable guitar-based sequence. “Live It” is a thorough success from The Spinning Stillness, featuirng stellar songwriting from frontman Charlie Shephard, in addition to an impressive rhythm section from drummer Paul Terry and bassist Harry Ong.
