Tim: Again, not entirely sure if there’s any justification for the name, but anyway: Monday we had a return to piano dance, yesterday we had current squeals and stuff, so today, shall we have a blend and see if this Danish pair can pull it off?
Tim: Yes, yes it seems they can. So much so, in fact, that I think this might be my favourite track of the three – the two bits all work well together, without any jarring switching from the one in the verse to the second for the chorus.
Tom: You are kidding me, right?
Tim: Ermmm, no?
Tom: That’s one of the worst transitions-into-chorus I’ve ever heard. I realise that, yes, it stays in 4/4 time all through, but I had to double-check that by counting along. After a pink-noise-build like that, they’re going to eschew the idea of a drop entirely and just… flow into it? And you’re OK with that?
Tim: Yes, but (and I’m fully prepared for a ‘how can you possibly compare the two” response to this) there’s no real difference between this and Hey Brother. Genre switch up, from one to another both working very well. Sure, the chorus could have a extra level of drumbeat or something, but I’ve no problem with the genre shift.
I also like it most because it’s the most exciting of the bunch – it starts off with a gentle line, but gets to levels that are at least acceptable for a first verse, though it should perhaps have been kicked up a notch for verse two. We’ve a decent chorus, then in due course a brief middle eight and a decent repeat to close.
Tom: And I agree with all of that: it’s just ruined for me by that bizarre transition. Pernickety, I know, and perhaps it’s just because it’s new, but that’s the way it is.
Tim: Hm, shame. But I do still have one last question: how is it still a thing to mess up the music so people don’t rip YouTube videos?
Tom: Because people still rip YouTube videos.
