When I like a song, I get obsessed.
A lot of people do. It's perfectly normal. We just
want to listen to it all the time. And I do. I will keep a song on repeat for
the duration of what I'm doing.
Whether it's cleaning my room, driving from Charleswood to the Exchange,
or checking my email/Facebook/Twitter/Perez. I listen to that particular song
over and over again.
Right now I’m obsessed with Calvin Harris’s Sweet Nothing featuring
Florence Welch.
If you follow me on Twitter @rarimuth, I’ve tweeted about dancing with
cat in the morning to this song. And for the record (great pun), my cat loved
it. It was a bonding experience.
The song is excellent. It’s like We Found Love, the Calvin
Harris-Rihanna smash hit from 2011, which of course I was obsessed with as
well, but more sobering.
I always enjoy a song that is incredibly upbeat with incredibly sad
lyrics. I find that the juxtaposition is a reflection of life for a lot of
people my age. We’re not always ready to get drunk and party and then hook up with
a whole bunch of people.
No.
I think the relationships we already have can be too exciting- and
exhausting. Partying is just an extension of this. Plus we’re students, we’re
poor. We won’t be popping Grey Goose and Patron on a G6.
The video for the song is haunting- a mini movie. Florence Welch is
striking with her red hair and high cheekbones dressed as a man performing in a
strip club. Not to mention that her voice is inspiring, and consistently
elicits my jealousy.
Check it out and feel free to tweet me your thoughts:
