´s great!! ;-)
Faultless harmony singing with a hyper catchy track. The ambiguity and detached nature of the lyrics tell a story that you don't care about but want to listen to and follow through to the end anyhow. It's the wierd attraction of the uneeded that makes this a stunner. The chord structure is nothing
new, but it is of the formulas that piques our emotions and is almost addictive. On or around 122-124 bpm. I love this track, it is as smooth as velvet and eminently listenable
One of my favourite songs ever. I love the final part when it says:
"1891 They looked around the forest They made their house from cedars They made their house from stones Oh, they're a little like you, and They're a little like me When they're falling me "
thanks alan i also love this track
