B-Side Guys

This is one of my favorite songs right now. The way it builds from a fun 80s sounding synth into a song that really is impossible not to dance around to belies the fact that the song actually has some melancholia in the lyrics. I love when sadder lyrics are hidden in pretty upbeat packages. This one seems to be a lot about unrequited love,

“Everyone reminds me of you boy
Everywhere I’m seeking you boy
Be my friend.
At every lie I want you more
Touching you, feeling you roar
Be my friend.”

My favorite part of the song is probably around the 3 minute mark or so when it breaks into almost an entirely new song for a few bars. The word “falaises” translates to cliff in French. And this song is full of cliffs, and valleys, and crescendos. It’s one amazingly fun ride that will have you hitting repeat as soon as it’s over.

Here’s a bonus if you liked the song:
