Tim: Alternatively, “I hear what you say but I’ve forgotten what you said”, and after a year or so of mostly dull ballads, he’s back to doing what he does best.
Tim: Other lines in the chorus include “who was it who said that, was it you or me?” – basically, this is a great relationship running on full throttle. And it’s a song that reflects that – from the brash singing that’s basically chanting right through to the jubilant woooooooahs that penetrate the latter half of it – along with a video to boot.
Tom: It’s a fine line between “great party” and “what a bunch of jerks” in a video like this, and for me it definitely ends up on the wrong side of it. Interesting to see bits of vertical video actually make it in as a deliberate style choice, though.
Tim: Yeah, I quite liked that – almost made the party seem more realistic.
Tom: I seem to have a lot of opinions about the video and very few about the music.
Tim: I am very, very much in favour of songs like this, to the extent that actually I feel a bit let down that it isn’t even louder.
Tom: And you’re right there — perhaps that’s why I’m not really sold on the music. It’s certainly a Big Party Song, but despite that it somehow leaves me a little bit cold. The words are there, but perhaps not all the meaning.
Tim: I’m not entirely sure what I’d do to make it bigger – maybe it’s just that that’s not quite enough of a jump from the verse to the chorus. Still, while it’s here, let’s enjoy and go full on FUN HAPPY PARTY WOOO!!!!
