“When I woke up from that dream
I was sleeping in a basement
Leaves were falling on the pavement
I was happy in the city
Took a friend’s car to the ocean
Are you ready? Are you ready?”
Rostam is a strong contender for my favorite producer of all time. His string arrangements always give me chills.
The xx used to be magic to me. I remember the day Chained came out, not just the song but this exact video. The music and visuals hit me in a way I still haven’t forgotten. It felt intimate and strange and perfect.
No one will ever really know me without intimately understanding the rush of listening to new indie music between 2007-2014.
So listen (listen), oh
So listen (listen), oh
Don't wait (don't wait)
Don't wait
Hard to believe this is the singer from Slow Club.
