There are two versions of this song, and I couldn’t decide which version to post, so we’re going to do this the “choose-your-own-adventure” way. Here’s the situation:
You’ve just gone through a difficult break-up, and are worried that the emotional baggage you’ve been left with won’t allow you to move on with your life. Do you skip work and spend the day curled up under a blanket with a bottle of wine and a trashy novel? Listen to version 1:
Do you dance your anger away while throwing out anything that reminds you of your ex? Listen to version 2:
What makes this a beautiful song:
1. (Version 1) The soft but militant marching-drum. Smooth and purposeful at the same time.
2. (Version 2) The harmonies and handclaps. Feels like you’re partying with at least 5 Erykahs.
3. (Both versions) The repeating guitar line. If I hear it in the morning, I’m whistling it all day.
Recommended listening activity:
Having a two-course meal in which both courses are dessert.
