White Stripes [The Demise Of]

Quick piece I wrote about my personal favourite White Stripes song- My Doorbell. Very sad to see them go, but hopefully Jack White [at least] will continue to spread his musical genius with all his various projects.
The 2005 single, written by Jack White and featured on the album “Get Behind me Satan,” upholds catchy lyrics, an infectious drumbeat and a black-and-white video to match.  A perfect example of what you can do with just two band members, ‘My Doorbell’ is surely one of the most famous and instantly recognisable White Stripes hits.  With a particular focus on drums and piano, it’s the simplicity of the song that makes it so easy to listen to and enjoy.  This is all echoed in their 2006 Grammy nomination for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for this song, and in turn, their Grammy win for Best Alternative Music Performance for “Get Behind me Satan.”  “My Doorbell” is a White Stripes track that will not be forgotten.
