There are a zillion songs I like and would like to share with you; however, very few of them show a clear story with the beginning and the end. Probably the best song which falls into this category is the one entitled "Handlebars". This song sung by Flobots does not deal with trivial matters; it turns out that a seemingly easy and childish activity depicted in the song, namely riding a bike with no handlebars, is the beginning for something completely new. What is clearly visible in the pop video, two boys ride their bicycles and suddenly they are to choose their own way when the road forks and forces them to follow either "C" (meaning probably corruption)or a white dove (one of numerous symbols of innocence). I could write you more but what's the point?! Simply: THE REST IS SILENCE. ;) If you want to learn more about the resons for writing "Handlebars", look here .
I must admit that I don't know much about this particular band and this hit by Flobots is the only one that I know; however, because of the lyrics, a specific beat and the pop video I'm head over heels in love with this song.
