#54 "Don't Look Back Into the Sun" by The Libertines

"Don't Look Back Into the Sun" is one of the many great singles The Libertines released in their short career. Like many bands did back in the old days, The Libertines put out a number of non-album tracks and b-sides. Though the two full-length albums they did were really good, their legacy is also strengthened by some stellar singles.

Like most of The Libertines best songs, "Don't Look Back Into the Sun" is anchored by the interplay between band leaders Carl Barat and Pete Doherty. Pete tends to be melodic and wild, always bringing a sense of the unpredictable. Carl is the heavier of the two and brings a lot of punk rock to the mix. They were a wonderful pairing and made a lot of great music together. There are always rumors circulating about them teaming up again... for a new album, a broadway musical, etc. Until they actually do, you'll just have to settle for those oldies-but-goodies.

"Don't Look Back Into the Sun" can be found on the compilation "A Time For Heroes." To hear the song, click on the icon in the widget jukebox along the side of the blog.
