Pixie Lott – Break Up Song

Tom: Our regular reader CB sends this one in, and since we had a run of “morose” songs last week, it seemed like a good fit.

Tom: Well, “let’s have sex one last time” isn’t a standard song template, that’s for sure.

Tim: No, but it’s not a bad one. Better than “let’s not have sex one last time”.

Tom: I reckon this is a good example of making a sad song still enjoyable to listen to.

Tim: I reckon that’s exactly what this is.

Tom: There’s enough light to balance the darkness: the gospel organ chords and soulful voice work really well. Even with the rather emotional video.

Tim: A fun video, though. But yes, a bit emotional.
