IMAGINE DRAGONS ALBUM NEW FULL
Mercury Act-1 is one of the most dynamic records I have ever listened to-the journey you go on through a full start-to-finish listen is a powerful one. It is a fitting thing for an album that began with beauty to end with it.
‘One day / I’ll be that one thing / That makes you happy.’ It has a fun, light-hearted rhythm to it, and the lyrics are beautiful in their simple hopes, especially coming out of the intensity of the album. It’s a healthy moment a decision to look beyond the pain that is one of the few truths to life and find joy, rather than waiting for happiness to find you a sentiment that I wholeheartedly enjoy.Īnd likewise, “One Day” is a simple, happy prayer a future hope. ‘Take a really good look, it’s a beautiful day / Yeah it’s a beautiful day / I’m gonna keep it that way.’ This track is not a rollercoaster ride of highs and lows-it stays at one high level throughout. “No Time For Toxic People” is simple and filled with a joyous sound. “No Time For Toxic People” and “One Day.” These two tracks are the light at the end of the tunnel they are the breath of relief, a moment of peace and purity after this dramatic, intense expulsion of grief.

No longer being a man of fervent faith, I can only hope that she hears it somewhere in a place where she is healed and no longer in pain. "This song was my way of dealing with it all, as music has always been my refuge. But I've also seen his faith bring him hope in a future with her. I've watched my brother face something that no one should have to. It sealed into my mind the fragility of life and finality of this all. I was with her and my brother when she passed, and it was the first time in my life that I had witnessed death in this way. Her sudden passing has shaken me in ways that I still am unable to express. A beacon of joy and strength for everyone she met.
In a statement, the 'Believer' rocker said: "She was the brightest light.
