Song of the Week: Thursday, August 2, 2012

Arctic Monkeys
"Come Together"

In the spirit of the Summer Olympics in London, Life of a Rock Star™ has chosen a song off of the “Isles of Wonder” album for Song of the Week.

The Arctic Monkeys cover The Beatles tune, “Come Together” with an old school sound that does proper homage to The Beatles and the true intention of the song. It is a song that evokes global international spirit--although that is far from the origin of the inspiration for the writing of the song--during a time when it is most needed.
