Tim: Norway, meet country music. Country music, this is Norway.
Tom: They’ve clearly got a budget for this, as they’ve actually shipped her out to California to film at Kirk’s Rock.
Tim: I really like this. Pleasant, just…nice. While ‘nice’ is a bit of a dull word, it does sum up this song. It’s just, well, nice.
Tom: Ooh, now I’d go further than that. It’s really very good – but I also reckon that’s because the first part of that chorus takes some serious inspiration from classic tearjerker 80s power ballad Up Where We Belong.
Tim: Hmm. Although I do have one niggle, best summed up by my thoughts of the last sixty seconds or so: “Ooh, back to the chorus. It’s nice….though, it’s repeating a bit….hang on, there’s a minute left, we can’t start the ending now, surely, not with only six words…can we?…OOH! VARIATION!…oh…well that must have been a whole ten seconds, and we’re back…OK, there are SIX WORDS. SIX WORDS.”
Tom: Can’t hear you. Too busy swaying back and forth with a lighter in the air.
Tim: Summation: I don’t mind a rinse and repeat every now and again, but I would like a few more lyrics please.
