Let’s say that you can roughly rank songs with the following formula
((Playcount + (plays in the 1st week you got it)) * how many times louder than normal conversation you sing the lyrics) – whatever percentage of the song you don’t know by heart.
This song gets MILLIONS of MEANINGLESS POINTS.
I could care less that this is the 2nd Crystal Castles song to make it here. Because fuck you, it’s a Robert Smith song. That’s Robert Smith, of The Cure. A band I understand I should be more familiar with. And after this I will be.
The basic story is Not In Love, from the 2nd CC album, got passed along to Smith, a human analogue of Jack Skellington, for editing and new recordings of vocals. And much as I hate to say it, it’s a huge improvement.
Crystal Castles soundtracking a guy who has a good voice. It’s 80’s and vaguely-goth or whatever, but that’s how I like my undead male vocalists. It’s all oddly compulsively listenable, and still fresh this being the first week of listening. It’s a cover album I’d buy.
saw your picture hangin’ on the back of my door
won’t give you my heart
no one lives there anymore
and we were lovers
now we can’t be friends
fascination ends
here we go again
cause it’s cold outside, when you coming home
cause it’s hot inside, isn’t that enough
i’m not in love
could it be that time has taken it’s toll
won’t take you so far, i am in control
and we were lovers
now we can’t be friends
fascination ends
here we go again
cause it’s cold outside, when you coming home
cause it’s hot inside, isn’t that enough
i’m not in love
i’m not in love
i’m not in love
we are not in love
we are not in love
we are not in love
we are not in love
