Fun Song



The video contains some similarities to the movie "The Italian Job" (The Mini Cooper and mafia?). Just watch and listen, this song is very fast paced and it keeps moving you forward. I'm not sure who the vocalist is, but her voice is absolutely stunning and the way the lyrics are casually sung goes with the video perfectly to keep moving. This song is a musical road chase, the curvy beat gives the feel of driving on a winding road at high speeds. At the more blissful moments, the video reflects that by increasing the tempo and changing the beat to a faster one, as everything cools down and the pressure is off, the beat slows down to match the mood.

Throughout the song, you are probably "stuck in the groove" and do not really focus on all the details: the beat, lyrics, and the video. It's okay, just watch it a few more items if the song has captivated you. Not sure about you, but the 3 and a half minutes of this song feels a lot shorter than the declared time. I guess this is a good way to show that a song is gripping and exciting, when you do not feel it is taking forever and the song flies by and you want more by repeating it. I think the perfect word to explain this song would be that it is very unpredictable. The beat changes without you ever expecting it and the transitions between the slow and fast beats are so smooth, you do not really feel a change in the song. Overall, this is a very simple song that is very intriguing. Have a listen. Hope you had a great holiday. =)

I love how you described the beat as "curvy". I've never heard of that one before, and it somehow makes sense. Nice
