Tom: Saara, the lyricist for Boy With Strings, sends this in. We covered ‘Play Pretend’ earlier this year, and… well, we decided we weren’t really the right audience for ethereal indie-pop.
Tom: And I find myself having much the same reaction here: yes, it’s good, I can see it’s good, but I just can’t get all that excited about it.
Tim: Yeah – pleasant to listen to, but nothing much goes on during it, and after a while I find myself hurrying it along, especially at four minutes.
Tom: The trouble is, that it sounds a bit like a four-minute introduction: I keep expecting Something Bigger to happen, and it just doesn’t. This is the tone of the song, and I just can’t get used to it.
Tim: No – I want something else, or at the very least some form of beat to it.
Tom: Like I said, though: it’s good. It’s just not my cup of tea.
