In the extremely heartfelt continuation of our exploration into Keeley Moss's artistic journey, "Floating Above Everything Else" emerges not just as an album but as a narrative deeply intertwined with the artist's soulful odyssey. Keeley's candid reflection on the profound impact of Inga Maria Hauser's tragedy reveals the layers of empathy, sorrow, and ultimately, artistic transformation that have shaped her music. As Keeley writes, "So many twists and turns have occurred in the case throughout this time, hopes have been raised and dashed so many times, all manner of strange mutations have seen this case wind it’s way to it’s current status, and yet the mystery surrounding the precise circumstances of Inga’s death remains exactly that – a mystery. This episode delves into Keeley's introspective process of converting personal and historical grief into compelling musical expressions, offering listeners a rare glimpse into the emotional and intellectual depth behind her work.
With tracks like 'The Glitter and The Glue' and 'To a London Sunrise,' listeners are invited to traverse the emotional landscapes that KEELEY band navigates in the songwriting. 'The Glitter and The Glue' encapsulates the dichotomy of resilience and vulnerability, a theme that resonates throughout the album. A song that "wrote itself, very direct, and quite punky." Meanwhile, 'To a London Sunrise' serves as a poignant homage to Inga Maria Hauser, translating the gentle whispers of her story into a serene yet stirring melody. "It opens a window to a side of Inga's story." The episode enriches our appreciation for the album by unraveling the intricate layers of production and lyricism that make each song a tapestry of human emotion, fragility, and an immersive experience.
As the episode unfolds, Keeley's playful engagement with the legacy of iconic Britpop bands adds a lighter tone, showcasing her amazingly broad musical influences and affable personality. Her mind is an encyclopedia when it comes to the history of this influential period in British life and culture. Yet, it's her forward-looking vision that captivates the listeners, teasing the prospect of a live album at the legendary 100 Club and other cool ideas. Maybe "releasing 1 album a year, every year...to create the sonic story."
Keeley Moss's journey is a testament to the power of music as a vessel for emotional healing, storytelling, and profound connection, inviting listeners to not only appreciate her artistry but also to find reflections of their own stories within her melodies. This episode stands as a tribute to the enduring spirit of creativity and the unbreakable bond between an artist and her muse. What brave warriors!
