Real short one today. This song, by The Cloud Room, has been around for a long time and was a blog-favorite last winter, but I’m just in the mood today.
Hey Now Now
It’s super-catchy, upbeat and was written while the singer was waiting for a confirmation of a positive AIDS test. Which explains why, for all its energy, it feels a little frentic. And then there’s that circular chorus that runs rings around you…
Short lesson: there are crappy moments in your life but you just move past it, “breathe it in and try to dream again.”
The album is The Cloud Room. And there’s also an interesting discussion of the song at Pitchfork: The Smash That Wasn’t.
