"Days Rush By" by Eric and Ellie

02/16/2010 Random Music Review
Song:"Days Rush By"
Artist:Eric & Ellie (Eric John & Ellie J)
Genre:Alternative Rock / Pop


Eric and Ellie collaborated to create this unique and rather awesome modern alternative song. Both singers have good steady vocals throughout the song and the instrumental backing is amazing. An interesting touch is the addition of live sounds recorded on the platforms of Toronto's subway system both as the song begins and as it ends. An interesting an unique flare which really helps to accentuate what this song is all about. Both artists have done a spectacular job in putting this song together and the video is pretty good too.

The lyrics depict the story of the every day grind to survive in the modern concrete jungle. From morning until night everything is a rush and it is all we can do to stay on top of things and avoid becoming overwhelmed. A very realistic view of our strongly business oriented world today.

The audio production is excellent with good levels between the vocalists and the instruments throughout the song. The addition of real live world sounds is a nice touch. The video featuring both artists, videos shot in Toronto's subway stations, and various still images to convey the story, is well assembled and adds greatly to the music.
