Tim: This is a Swedish band, comprised of Filip, Magnus, Povel and David; this is the first track of theirs that I’ve come across, and I’m glad I did.
Tim: I like the speed of this, because right from the start with the horse racing and the quick keyboard we’re clearly in for a good ride, and happily the song doesn’t fall short on that promise. (Metaphors are all over the place there; you know what I mean.)
Tom: That verses sound a bit like a cross between the synths from Baba O’Reilly and the vocals from Call Me Al – and I’m fairly sure I’ve heard that “on our way way way” chorus somewhere in Eurovision recently.
Tim: You have, and it took me a while to place it too – it’s from Eric Saade’s Popular.
Tom: But if you’re going to echo someone else’s style, those aren’t bad ones to echo.
Tim: The words come thick and fast, as to the lyrics in that video (which I like, in the way that’s it’s almost a struggle to keep up with it).
Tom: Agreed: they’ve got a proper designer or two in to handle putting that video together.
Tim: Also garnering points: the ‘we are young’ vibe, which is out in full force here, from the obvious let’s head to a party as quickly as possible in the chorus, through to the up all night in the middle eight and the rather clever “I miss her bed” – couldn’t care less about who she was, just the bed part of it. Classy. Excellent.
Tom: To be fair, I can understand that. My bed’s not particularly comfortable.
Tim: Well, yes. That’s clearly the reason.
