Tim: An interesting take on two blokes fighting for a lady’s attention, and a rather nice tune on the back of it. While it’s true that the end bit doesn’t add anything that wasn’t there previously, it doesn’t matter, because it sets the perfect contrast between most of the song and the Florence-and-the-Machine-esque bridge. (The first part of that, incidentally, reminds me slightly of Red Carpet Extend-O-Matic from the World of Goo soundtrack.)
Tom: Two main thoughts from that video: “she’s ruined that wedding dress” and “ooh, nice dynamic type in the credits”. Those don’t really reflect well on the song.
I know it’s meant to be sung like that, but she sounded out-of-tune, almost like she’s not putting the effort in to hit the notes. The official song of Copenhagen Pride? It’s no Friðrik Ómar track, that’s for sure.
Tim: No, it isn’t Friðrik Ómar, because it’s a completely different type of track – his was party party party, sod any form of meaningful lyrics, whereas hers is all about, well, Forbidden Love, we’re gay, get over it: ‘we’ll love how we want, our time has just begun‘ … ‘don’t taste like forbidden, just tastes like love‘. Two pride stereotypes – partying vs political – and each will appeal to a different group. Personally, I prefer this one – there’s enough danciness in it for some decent remixes to hit the clubs, and there are sure as hell no Lazytown lyrics in there.
Tom: She has completely ruined that wedding dress though.
