Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends might have one of the longest band names in rock history, but don’t let that fool you. They’re part of that rare breed of musicians who understand that classic rock wasn’t just about guitar solos and leather jackets. It was about drama, emotion, and those sweeping arrangements that made you feel like you were living inside a movie.
“Sometimes the crow doesn’t fly away. Sometimes you just learn to live with it.”
“The Crow” is the kind of song that immediately announces its intentions. Right from the start, there’s this Bolero-style rhythm that pulls you in, and you can hear exactly what the band means when they say it channels Roy Orbison. They’re taking that foundation of dramatic orchestration and lush vocals, then pushing it somewhere darker and more honest than Orbison usually went.
The story itself is about loneliness personified as an actual crow, this creepy bird that sits by your bed and feeds on your pain. You find this unvarnished confession that even when someone reaches for your hand, doubt still creeps in. The pain doesn’t disappear; it just becomes shared.
If you’ve been searching for something that brings back that classic rock grandeur, give “The Crow” a spin. Arn-Identified Flying Objects and Alien Friends have created something genuinely affecting here, a track that honors the past while carving out its own identity.
