JORDY, GOD COMPLEX | Song Review

Gay singer-songwriter JORDY ‘rocks out’ on his no-good-ex-driven, pop/rock, pop-punk single, “GOD COMPLEX.”

[nx_pullquote]“I know you like it when I’m down on my knees.”[/nx_pullquote] Are you praying, JORDY (Jordy Shulman), or are you doing something else? Listening to the next line in “GOD COMPLEX”, Shulman sings, “Asking forgiveness over something I didn’t do / Got me thinking that you’re some kind of priest / Confessing over something you know that isn’t true.” Early on, in the first verse of “GOD COMPLEX,” the religious and spiritual references run rampant.  Down on my knees, forgiveness, priest, and confessing are all key words. Shulman composed the two-and-a-half-minute song with Perrin Xthona and producer mattisnotfamous (Matthew Roy Ferree).

The second verse of  “GOD COMPLEX” moves beyond religion, well, sort of.  JORDY shares his plans to become friends with his ex’s ex – an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth! In the pre-choruses, Shulman discusses losing and eventually finding himself following this shitty experience. That, my friends, leads to the Chorus, the centerpiece of the record.  “You were a bad decision, bad religion, can’t believe that I committed / To a normal guy, with a god complex,” he sings, and adds, “Rather be a sinner, pull the trigger, altogether / Couldn’t tell you why, I was so obsessed.” Once more, the religious and spiritual references rear their head, with JORDY singing them like a champ.  His voice is terrific as he rocks out over the pop/rock, pop-punk-infused music accompaniment.  The theme and lyrics are entertaining and honest, while the melodies are tuneful. All in all, “GOD COMPLEX” is another bop in the hands of JORDY.  Rock on!
