Long Title, I know. But may I say that it is quite impossible not to agree with the Glaswegian Indie pop band Camera Obscura and their vision of love.
"Hey Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken, cause I can't see further than my own nose at this moment"
First sentence of the chorus and yet describing the entire song. In other words being selfish might be the reason why we all loose each other sometimes, why we might end up by ourselves.
Be prepared, Be ready to be heartbroken.
Except that instead of using the saddest melody ever or playing dark guitar riffs to express their feelings, the band decides to sing a heartbroken song on a happy note. Much better decision.
What I mean is that even if I realise everyday that I'm not the only one who loves listening to depressing song to feel even more depressed, why not singing something true and sad in a lively way using funny lyrics. I am personally a bit sick of love songs that actually make you want to cry. This one makes me laugh, especially the video.
Plus, there is an awkwardness in this tune that can only make you like it more. It's special and that is what makes it good.
The band as lead the Scottish Pop scene for almost 15 years now. They're sweet, they're shy and look depressed: Totally Lovable.
Hopefully you'll enjoy the TrUe OuTsIdErS of Camera Obscura just like I do.
