Tim: Erik Segerstedt, Idol 2006 runner-up and the E. out of the band E.M.D. while it existed; this was his first track released.
Tim: And that’ll do me fairly well. I’ve got no real reason to feature it here other than I was listening to my Melodifestivalen 1958-2013 album, which contained E.M.D.’s Baby Goodbye (also fairly good) and felt like exploring from there. Glad I did, really – this is a very good track, as far as the American pop/rock/tinge of country melange goes, with plenty of arms in the air moments, which the video takes full advantage of. It’s really a case of “by the numbers, where the numbers are very very good”, and I’m generally happy with that. You?
Tom: Much the same: that’s some proper mid-2000s piano-pop there. It’s like a lost Train single, even down to the over-emphasis on a couple of words in the verse to keep it interesting.
Tim: Yeah, that’s a good comparison – I was thinking late Bryan Adams, but Train works very well too.
Tom: I think I meant that as a compliment, because yes: it’s a lovely song.
