Information for you:
- It’s the official song of Reykjavik Pride 2010.
- It’s by the bloke from Iceland’s 2008 Eurovision entry (and you can tell).
- For the first 15 seconds you’ll think you’re listening to Underworld.
Hmm. He looks like a Nordic version of Neil Patrick Harris, only less awesome.
There’s something about the chord progression in “to break the chain / and love again” that reminds me of Guru Josh’s Infinity 2008.
And special attention needs to go to the lyrics “kissing your lips / in a total eclipse”, there. That’s a particularly inspired kind of insipid.
Agreed, but I feel special attention should also be paid to:
“When I rest my head in an empty bed
Only memories hanging on my wall
I stare into space with the tears on my face
And I count them as they fall”.
Sort of what emo would be if it had been invented by Lazytown.
You do (I sincerely hope) recognise the oh-oh lead into the chorus.
Shockingly, I don’t.
Well, shame on you.
