SOMETHING OLD: ‘Buck Rogers’ – Feeder

One from my youth to bring in the New Year – well, A-Levels still feels like some sort of youth! This is one of those anthems, yes I consider it big enough to be called an anthem, when as soon as you hear the opening guitar bars you can’t help but smile – mainly because you know what riff is round the corner.
The song is about his partner leaving him for ‘Buck Rogers’, who is the guy with the Jaguar and all the materialistic things, and trying to win her back – ‘I think we’re gonna make it’ makes the chorus which you can’t help but sing along to.
Feeder are one of those bands you don’t realise how many of their songs you know until you stick one of their albums on, or take a look on YouTube. For me, instantly likeable, with some great songs in their back catalogue. ‘Just A Day’ being one which nearly got in this place on the ‘Something Old’ blog entry.
I have my Isle of Wight Festival tickets and I can’t wait to finally see Feeder live, and once that chorus kicks in – be taken back to my 6th form common room. I’m practising my jumping already.
