TRACK REVIEW: Michael Curran’s Deaf Fiction – Boots On The Ground

This is the third single in the artist’s Deaf Fiction series. North Shields’ Michael Curran’s work tends to focus on ‘state of the world’ statements, although he rarely sticks to one genre or style. While previous work had caught my ear (courtesy of these very pages), I’m afraid this one just didn’t grab me.

It’s certainly a seamless track, containing a bit of electric guitar, an AAAA rhyming scheme, and generally a lyrically sound approach, although it lacked punch. The artist explains that the song is based around the principles of ‘team work making the dream work’ in a literal work place scenario, but the lyrics could lend themselves to relationships too. It’s a perfectly solid track, but perhaps not quite hitting the spot for this reviewer.
