CANASTA CHICAGO – Slow down Chicago

If you have seen Diminished Capacity movie, maybe you have heard the catchy soundtrack, slow down chicago. “Slow Down Chicago” is sung by Canasta Band that also formed in Chicago too. By mixing the alternative rock and electronic musical instruments and technologies, this song make people who listen it on fire and live their life. You can watch the video of this song below.

The video of this song begin when all member of this band woke up from the bed and start their daily activities. Also you must remember, they started their daily activities and playing the musical instrument TOGETHER. The vocalist start to sing, tell you how hard to stay alive in busy city Chicago. After finishing their morning habit, they went outside their home. Next they met together in a small apartment and had their band training. Although this video plot is simple, I think this video is good and make me easier know what this song means.

Not only the video is good, the meaning of the lyric is also great. This song lyric tells us about how hard life it is whenever you are (in Chicago or not) and you must survive. Listening this song also booster up my mood and make me enjoy my daily life. I think the movie director was right to chose this song as a soundtrack.

If you also want to listen Canasta other song, you can listen to “Find the Time”, Canasta Band first album. The songs of their first album (including slow down chicago) is also catchy to listen. There are also other albums that you can buy or downloads. You can try their second album, “We Were Set Up”, or you can see their latest album, “The Fakeout, The Tease, and The Beather”. You can also search their remix album, “We Were Mixed Up”. Listen them all now because both of them are awesome! But I do admit that one of my favorite is slow down chicago.
