Tim: Or, alternatively, Can’t Anyone Save us? (ish).
Tom: I think that beat’s the same one as the ‘demo’ on the old Casio keyboard I had when I was five.
Tim: Give it a sec before letting the standard snarkiness kick in, please.
It’s from the same best-selling-of-2010-in-Finland album as En haluu kuolla thingy (she likes the long titles, it seems), and my word ain’t that just a chorus and a half?
Tom: Bloody hell. Talk about a complete change. From Casiocore to full orchestral Broadway production.
Tim: It reminds me – quite a bit, what with the big piano stuff they’ve got going on under everything else – of Didrik Solli-Tangen’s My Heart Is Yours and, much as with that one, I love it. Google seems to fall down a bit when translating Finnish, but this song’s really just about the music, I think, and wow is that some proper music.
Tom: It really is. So… many… instruments!
Tim: I don’t know if it’s a shame the verses aren’t the same level – part of me wishes they were, just because, but part of me likes that the choruses are so big, and that wouldn’t really be appreciated. Besides, it’s not like either of them, especially the second one with the extra beat, is particularly empty.
Tom: There’s no way you could make the verses as big as that chorus. I don’t think you can fit that much music into a song.
