Jupe Jupe – As The Body Will

'Jupe Jupe', a band from the USA, presents us with 'As The Body Will', a song that is part of their cur­rent album 'Midnight Waits For No One'. In this piece, dif­fer­ent music­al influ­ences merge into an inter­est­ing mix­ture of indie pop, post punk and dark pop. Although I per­son­ally don't par­tic­u­larly like the indie pop / post punk touch, I have to say that this song def­in­itely has its qualities.

The mood of 'As The Body Will' is char­ac­ter­ised by a cer­tain Moody atmo­sphere that runs through the entire song. At the same time, 'Jupe Jupe' man­ages to deliv­er a flaw­less pro­duc­tion. Every detail seems to be in its place and provides a har­mo­ni­ous sound­scape. Especially the use of syn­thes­izers stands out pos­it­ively and gives the song a dis­tinct­ive touch.

The track impresses with its catchi­ness and hook­lines that quickly get into your ears. You can hardly res­ist bob­bing your head along or feel­ing the beat.

'As The Body Will' is par­tic­u­larly suit­able for lov­ers of syn­thpop with gui­tars. The com­bin­a­tion of melod­ic syn­thes­izer sounds and gui­tars cre­ates an excit­ing dynam­ic that makes the song seem alive. In doing so, Jupe Jupe suc­ceeds in cap­tur­ing a cer­tain nos­tal­gia of the New Wave era while at the same time cre­at­ing a mod­ern sound.

Lyrics of 'Jupe Jupe – As The Body Will'

The wheel,
Spinning all the time, turn­ing all the time, always at the tail.

The mill,
Water turns the wheel, nev­er stop the wheel, nev­er stop or fail

Safety being insignificant,
Never seem­ing too magnificent.

Hopes,
Don’t shatter,
Don’t break down,
As the body will.

Dreams,
That matter,
Don’t break down,
As the body will,
As the body will.

In space,
Ring around the sun, burn up in the sun, ash upon the wind.

In time,
A wheel to wear a path, weary is the path, start it all again.

Safety being insignificant,
Never seem­ing too magnificent.

Hopes,
Don’t shatter,
Don’t break down,
As the body will.

Dreams,
That matter,
Don’t break down,
As the body will,
As the body will.

Hopes,
Don’t shatter,
Don’t break down,
As the body will.

Dreams,
That matter,
Don’t break down,
As the body will,
As the body will.

(While you wait your turn.)
