Here's a poignant rock tale. It's a thoughtful exploration of the complexities of love and sacrifice, which narrates the story of a man who goes to exceptional lengths in his striving to refine both himself, and his love, only to find himself caught between the depths of devotion and a sense of inner-hollowness.
One of the things that makes "Man Shaving" exceptional is its global musical journey. This extraordinary song was born in the enchanting lands of New Zealand and brought to life amidst the vibrant energy of chaotic Istanbul. The Infinity Chamber seamlessly weaves together their global influences to create a beautiful piece of work, and of rock. The song seems to suggest elements of The Doors and tones of Iggy Pop, combined with subtle twangs of the golden age of Britpop. The result is catchy, infectiously so.
With its penetrating, articulate, and heartfelt lyrics, thrilling harmonies, and thought-provoking themes, The Infinity Chamber's new single "Man Shaving" is a true gem that promises to touch listeners' hearts and brains, and may even stoke a sense of wanderlust for musical discovery.
lyrics
I am a man who holds his hand for you
I am a man who took the stand for you
I am a man who chews his nails for you
I am a man who tears down veils for you
Cuts his face, yearns for grace
Combs his hair, makes repair.
I am the man who cooks his heart for you
I am the man who comes apart for you
Breaks his vows, stoops and bows
Waste his time, walks in line
I am fine half the time
And there are seasons in my mind
Could I be the coldest fish?
What was it Midas did wish?
I am the man who picks flowers for you
I am the man who storms towers for you
Falls in love, fallen in love
And there's no doubt you'll draw me out.
