Video released June 20th 2013
I've never listened to Jake Bugg, unfortunately after
hearing this track that’s not about to change. The video to Broken begins with
Jake wandering out to a stage in a bar somewhere with a guitar in his hand and an
extremely gormless look on his face, then comes the twanging. We get some
lyrics about the end of a relationship and how he’s sad, all in a voice that
sounds like he’s singing into a fan. A comparison which I find to be fairly accurate
of this young man is if you have Liam Gallagher singing about how he’s currently
feeling following the love child fiasco. The song drones along to a
disappointing climax, throughout we have false hope that something might
happen, we’re left unfulfilled and feeling like the last 5 minutes and 13
seconds have been stolen from our lives. In defence of this song I will say that it is well produced and the instrumentals are appealing, however it will never be my cup of tea.
