Seeing as though this track was heavily inspired by the 1942 Hollywood classic Casablanca, I figured this song was worth a post. Give respect, where respect is due. The name of this blog, Casablanca Sunset, is inspired by the name of the street I grew up on and the 1942 movie. So, in some respect this blog and The Lake District have something in common. And aside from just having something in common I do enjoy this song. This is an ambient instrumental track could easily fit the end of a movie. With persistent rain pouring in the background and a heavily reverberated piano the track displays a great deal of distance and epic emotion. Similar to what you would hear in a post rock song. Solid thinking music.
Here is the Lake District’s Trevor Ransom take on ‘Framed’:
Framed is best listened to as you think about the last scene in Casablanca. Though Frank dons a calm face, there is no doubt of the underlying emotion behind his appearance. Framed is about his thoughts as he watches his love walk off into the gray, to get on an airplane and never come back again. It’s about the sweet, now ash tasting memories of times they shared before innocent love was torn apart by the war. It’s about the enveloping emotions of heartache, and hopelessness that threaten to crumple him. And… at the end of it all, it’s about waking up the next day and facing the world, drained of color, but with a belief that one day the color will return.
