Cecilia Kallin – Heaven

“And isn’t that just entirely fine?”

Tim: We’ve not featured Cecilia before, or at least not as a solo artist – she’s formerly of Timoteij, whose output we’ve enjoyed on multiple occasions.

Tom: And whose shampoo we miss. (Sorry.)

Tim: It would appear they broke up a while back, though, because here’s this.

Tim: And isn’t that just entirely fine?

Tom: Yeah, “fine” about sums it up. Which is damning with faint praise, really: I think I was expecting something DJ Sammy, and instead I got the title theme to an early-2000s romantic comedy.

Tim: Yeah, maybe I should have warned you, sorry.

Tom: It’s nice! There’s nothing wrong with it! I doubt it’ll be a chart smash.

Tim: It’s chirpy and happy, and all about what you might be feeling if you’ve got a new person you’re wanting to get off with, or maybe something a bit more romantic if they’re really special.

Tom: I mean, that’s specific, but–

Tim: Maybe they’re a new colleague, or a regular commuter; a barista, or the person who’s just moved in next door. Whatever the exact relationship, you just can’t seem to stop thinking about them. You’ve trouble focussing at work, you’re becoming absent-minded elsewhere, you’re spilling your drink every time you see them. All you want, all you’re thinking about, all day and every day, is speaking to them, asking them out, taking them back to your place, sitting them down, standing in front of them, and singing a weirdly damp song you’ve written about them. And then it’ll all be perfect. Right?

Tom: …are you okay, Tim?

Tim: Me? Yeah, of course. Totally okay. Entirely.
