Song Review
Today’s song comes to us from the indie-rock/electronic Montreal trio Think About Life, and is easily one of my favorites of 2009. Consisting of keyboardist Graham Van Pelt, drummer Matt Shane, and vocalist Martin Cesar (Dishwasher), Think About Life have released two full-length albums to date; Havin’ My Baby can be found on the bands most recent LP Family, released on May 26th, 2009 in Canada and October 13th in the US. Via a well put together combination of vocals, bright pop-synth, drums, and a sped up vocal loop, the band’s creates an undeniably enjoyable piece of work. Yet beneath this 3am loft-party dance sound there is quite a passionate story being told. For more from the band, and the latest album, check out their MySpace here.
Somebody told me that you’re happy but I’m stuck with you ignoring
Stepping further, I slap your face
Tell me how could you do this when you know that I’m just not in love with you
You know that I’m just not in love with you
I won’t
don’t worry
I won’t
don’t worry (You know that I’m just not in love with you)
I won’t settle, I won’t settle (You know that I’m just not in love with you)
Every step I take is a step to you (’Cause you’re having my baby)
And I want you to wait ’cause I’m always waiting, oh (Having my baby)
It’s a complex affair, this life we live
I could do my wrongs, you could do your rights
With this song I hope you will take me back
There’s a flower waiting on your street
I won’t
don’t worry
I won’t
don’t worry
I won’t settle, I won’t settle
Every step I take is a step away
From the burning house with my mistake
Oh
Take me, take me back!
Take me, take me back!
I want you, to take me back
Take me, take me back!
Somebody told me that you’re happy but I’m stuck with you ignoring
Stepping further, I slap your face
Tell me how could you do this when you know that I’m just not in love with you
You know that I’m just not in love with you
I won’t
don’t worry
I won’t
don’t worry (You know that I’m just not in love with you)
I won’t settle, I won’t settle (You know that I’m just not in love with you)
Every step I take is a step to you (’Cause you’re having my baby)
And I want you to wait ’cause I’m always waiting, oh (Having my baby)
I wish sometime you won’t regret
Even if your mind won’t take the test
I could do my wrongs you could do your rights
And you’ll let me go with my mistakes
I won’t
don’t worry
I won’t
don’t worry
I won’t settle, I won’t settle
Every step I take is a step to you
And I want you to wait ’cause I’m always waiting, oh
