Another all-female UK rock band hits it out of the park in 2023. I owe finding this one to Alt Nation too. What’s great about this song is that it comes on like this prim and proper ditty, like you’d hear it in some TV show that modernizes a Parisian party and then that one word hits and changes the song completely. These are not your prim and proper women of yesteryear. I’m 100% here for it.

“‘Cause we’re a lot alike, in favor, like a motorbike, a sailor and a nightingale, dancing in convertibles, and you can hold me, like he held her, and I will fuck you, like nothing matters, and you can hold me, like you held her, and I will fuck you, like nothing matters”
Overall the song simultaneously is about forgetting someone and being head over heels for them at the same time. Though it doesn’t seem as if she’s with the one she wants. Pronouns are important in that lyric above. Maybe I’m stating the obvious here. Our lead singer probably got cheated on. Fuck that guy! I dig the defiance. The shade being thrown. Deserved!
This is another one of those “soul songs’ that I feel like hits you and you can’t help but move. I bet if someone analyzed all 366+ of these songs after this year they’d find two to three common themes within! If these songs stuck out to me after so much listening, they have to be something, right? 🙂
“Even when the cold comes crashing through, I’m putting all my bests on your, I hope they never understand us, I put my heart inside your palms, my home in your arms, now we know nothing matters, nothing matters (oh-oh)”
We get a fantastic guitar solo at ~2:00 that just melds wonderfully with the entire song and leads into us belting through the final chorus. Such an incredible ending to this song.
I hope you truly enjoy. Please let me know what you think of the song!
Fun. Like rococo meets rock. It’s giving Dresden Dolls/Amanda Palmer.
