# Music Of The Week, Part 2
Be whoever you have to be / I won’t judge you / And sing whenever you have to sing / To get it out and not become / a recluse about your house, come out
“Sway” by The Kooks, off “Konk”
I love the guitar at the end of the verses, and the chorus and the bridge are brilliant. It’s probably my favourite track of the moment, I kept repeating it in the car on the way home last night. Which means in about 3 weeks I’m going to be bored of it, and not want to hear it any more.
Pretty much the whole of Konk is excellent, so much so I’ve pre-ordered it – Something I very rarely do. I read a review last week sometime saying that the first track, See The Sun, is the best first track to an album they’d heard for a while. I’m not sure I agree with that (See These Bones), but there is no doubting it hooks you into the album immediately.
Fans of The Fratellis will like Mr. Maker (And probably the whole album, now I mention it), and Gap, Stormy Weather, Sway (of course) and Down To The Market keep the middle of the album sounding strong. I’m not too keen on Do You Wanna though.
I absolutely love the opening lyrics of the melancholic One Last Time :
Can I hold you one last time / To fight the fear that’s growing in my mind / I know I did us both all so wrong / I know I’m not always all that strong
“One Last Time” by The Kooks, off “Konk”
Listening to it again now, when I get bored of Sway this will probably be the next track I overplay.
Overall, it’s a more mature sound than Inside In/Inside Out, but still unmistakably The Kooks – Which is just fine, in my book.
