Every other song that every other blog puts up is tagged as "different." Most end up sounding pretty formulaic. This song, written fearing retribution from the blogosphere, is, well, different. Having no clear rhyme or rhythm apart from its taiko drums, this jam mixes in far ranging sound effects and influences to create a confluence about as mysterious as the deep blue. A song, about a guy and a whale, it ends up sounds strangely triumphant in the end. With lyrics simple enough to let you add your own meaning, but with a sound which lets you get lost in its journey, "Whale" seems to not make any sense while also seemingly making all the sense in the world at the same time. While its value probably lays in between the two, its this struggle between the nonsensical and the all-knowing which makes this song both so fun, and well, different.
