Southern End Channel Classic Sounds with “Lost Girl”

I must admit, I typically struggle to embrace a song that doesn’t have strong lyrics. Perhaps it’s the writer in me, but if a song doesn’t have words that speak to me, then I probably won’t give it a second listen. However, every now and again I hear a song that I enjoy despite it falling flat in the lyrics department.

Let’s face it, “Lost Girl” by Newcastle band Southern End doesn’t say a whole lot. But what it lacks in story it makes up for with a great classic rock sound. I can hear a little Led Zeppelin and Neil Young coming through this track; that blend of blues and psychedelia is so appealing.

These guys have only been together since 2014, when they met in high school, so I can forgive them for not writing songs that speak to my heart. Hopefully that will come in time. Right now they’ve got the bare bones of something with real potential.
