The more I think about this song, the more somber it becomes. Sounds less like a love song and more like a song about saying goodbye to someone or something that is very important to you. Sometimes we can look at the same event with a mixture of joy and sorrow, and I think this song does a great job of conveying that. Either way, I’m glad you came to listen and enjoy it with me. You rock!
For background, Isabella Bennett (who wrote the song) meant it as a love song but went through a breakup while it was being written so it took that turn, as I understand it.
I always felt like the majors and minors playing around in this song lends to the Bittersweetness of this song. Being in love and losing love. Idk if it was done on purpose or not, but it gives the whole song a wonderful vibe. ❤
Just came from your BTS tiny desk concert reaction and was pleasantly surprised to find Honeybee amongst your reactions. I love Steam Powered Giraffe. Their harmonies are beautiful.
Their harmonies are SO beautiful! I met them back in…2014? And they’re all great humans. Even inspired me to work on my animatronic movements, haha! Ever tried to move robotically? (Also, thank you so much for checking out more than just one artist. Means a lot!)
Nice show. Great band. Have a look at this gal, who’s a good songwriter with lots of different stuff. ua-cam.com/video/48utyEtzHYY/v-deo.htmlsi=AA_L_7B5vR1c6LDo
