Tim: Maia’s Danish, the song’s called “You Are My Love”, and it’s a pretty good one. Despite Maia having been mostly just a writer up until now, she says she “instinctively knew that it would be wrong to give it to another artist because the words came from the bottom of my heart and had its base in my own feelings”.
Tom: You’re recommending a lot of Mopey Yet Trying To Be Anthemic songs lately. You OK?
Tim: Mopey, you think? I don’t know, but I can see the Trying To Be Anthemic. Advance warning, though: tomorrow’s is of a similar genre. But for now, well, first off I wish I could find the lyrics for this, because while I’m almost certain that what she’s singing halfway through the chorus isn’t the obscenity it sounds like, I’d still like confirmation.
Tom: I’ll be honest, it took me a while to work out where the chorus was, but… yes, I’m fairly sure that’s just an unfortunate syllable, there.
Tim: And if I can get past that distraction, this is an absolutely delightful song. A backing line that’s just lovely, a fantastic vocal that gets all emotional at all the necessary points, and a beautiful close piling everything in together.
Tom: As with yesterday’s track, it takes its time to get there — but it does, at least, get there.
Tim: All in all, I might go so far as to call it beautiful – it really is.
