Although Amy MacDonald is a Brit, there's an Americana tinge to her melodies that gives the This Is The Life mp3 a touch of melancholia, which kind of reminds me of Jack White at his most emotional or of Johnny Cash if he had been a British girl dressed in plaid as opposed to an American man in black. You can tell that there are a lot of UK influences as well in the This Is The Life download. I’m thinking predominantly of the ghost of Kirsty MacCool that you can hear beneath Amy MacDonald’s deep, sonorous voice. But Amy MacDonald This Is The Life also has touches of originality in it that make it difficult to compare it to its predecessors or contemporary song, and that’s what makes Amy MacDonald so special. At a tender age, she has lit out on her own musical path and come up with a tune in the This Is The Life download that is strikingly unique. The This Is The Life mp3 is a wickedly accomplished tune for a girl who just skipped off the schoolyard. The music is rich, almost soulful and actually quite bleak. The lyrics are informed by what one would have to call Amy’s wise, dark heart, which pull the This Is The Life download back from the brink of tween innocence and give the tune a weightiness that other tunes from teenagers simply lack. Upon hearing the This Is The Life mp3, you can’t help but wonder what Amy will be capable of when she gets a little older and has had her heart broken more than once. Even at this young age, she shows the ability to pick herself up off the floor, dust herself off and get back in the ring of love. Will she still be able to do after the fifth spoiled love affair? That remains to be seen. For now, enjoy your free This Is The Life download.
