Danny Yau – Do You Think We’ll Live Here Forever?
This album is very easy to relate to. Danny Yau’s Do You Think We’ll Live Here Forever? is inspired by our very own Sydney, imbued with names and experiences unique to the ever-growing city.
The nine tracks pulse with the ups, the downs and the disappointments of trying to live with not enough money and really big dreams. Yau sings with conversational nostalgia, seeing a life over again. He wavers delicately between genres with a bit of several strains of the Sydney music scene, stringing them together with skill and spontaneity.
Travelling around Sydney on the ‘Nightbus Home’, Yau takes us through well-known places and well known feelings with hope, several A-HA! moments, and a touch of sadness immortalising Sydney and the lives within it.
There are many reasons to buy this album, not least because ‘The Inner West Misses You’ too. (SP)
