You! Me! Dancing! (2007)
Los Campesinos!
Rating: 4.1
Don't be deceived by the slow guitar intro; this is a well-paced song with cute lyrics that make me smile. True, the lead singer doesn't have the best voice, and the build-up into the actual tempo would drive anyone crazy with anticipation, but that just adds to the beauty of the song.
A main reason for my slightly diminished rating is the unknown speaking section right near the end of the song. I have not as yet found a place that has told me what he's saying, and it sincerely bothers me. Was it improv'ed? Was it planned? I have no idea, I'm afraid.
However, the female's vocals are quite gorgeous, and the guitar/bass parts throughout the rest of "You! Me! Dancing!" captivate the listener. Though this is the only song in the book by Los Campesinos!, and it's not one of the main 1001, they are an interesting band to listen to, and the slightly awkward tone of the lyrics warms the heart.
"It's you, it's me, and there's dancing!"
Yes, indeed; there is dancing.
