soundbytes: sober - kelly clarkson

second single from former american idol, kelly clarkson, taken from her 'my december' album is something that unexpected. her first single from the same album is an initial reaction to a bitter break up, this second single fast-forwards a few months and the songs finds kelly in relatively calmer place.

sober taking page out of the 'with or without you' (u2) school of writing i.e. the intensity of the songs built up towards the end and end it with an impact of the song. i begin to enjoy this song as it played repeatedly on my playlist.

listen to 'sober' here.
