Tim: Fairly new Danish duo; in October they put out a fairly dreary piano ballad (which I suppose is fine if you like that sort of thing), but this follow-up is actually worth listening to.
Tom: What on earth?
Tim: Well, yes – they’ve sort of got a ‘let’s all be happy with nature’ hippy thing going on in the video which let’s be honest is just a bit silly and always irritating, and there’s really no need for those masks, but the kids seem to be enjoying themselves so that’s something.
Tom: Yep, I had to put that video in the background so I wasn’t too grumpy about the whole thing. Without it, the song’s not bad – not my kind of thing, but there’s nothing wrong with it.
Tim: The music is nice, with a passionate chorus, drums beating nicely and chirpy guitaring going on. Happy verses, with talk of elephants and all sorts, and despite the “I watch you stalker” message it’s made a bit nicer with the “I love you so”, assuming it’s somewhat reciprocated.
And I shall assume that, because I like this song and I don’t want to ruin it.
Tom: Well, I’m reading it as a parent-to-child song, rather than a traditional ‘stalker’ or ‘partner’ one. Does that ruin it for you?

Tim: Oh. Oh, actually that makes it sound lovely. Oh, I like that idea, that’s nice. Hmm. Although I do worry for the children’s upbringing.
