Mobley - Yesterday's Another Day
Everything's phenomenal in Mobley new song AND video, "Yesterday's Another Day," which takes us right back to a futuristic '70s live performance. Visually, this could be taken right from one of the music TV shows I grew up with. The dance moves and the entire vibe of production are so spot-on late '70s to early '80s, with so much care and precision, they deserve extra mention. What I especially love here is that all too often these days, dance moves from previous eras get spoofed and made fun of, but this seems genuine. The song itself?
Oh my, the melody is gorgeous, and Mobley's beautiful vocals and sharp lyrics add extra panache to the exquisite track. It's giving me the chills when he claims, "All I have is skin and bones, they're yours until you let me go," because it sounds like he really means it. Again, this comes across as honest and from the heart. Learning more about the song, I now know that this a concept album with a fictional character Jacob Creedmoor, about which Mobley says:
“In the last proper song on the album, the central character Jacob marvels at the durability of his passion for his lost love. He shrugs off his self-consciousness about living in the past with a cheeky modification of the aphorism ‘tomorrow’s another day.’”
