Like a Friend

The song that hurts the most, at some time in our lives. Who hasn’t had a terrible relationship, in which you are way too involved, that being friends isn’t enough, even when it seems that no power in the world will transform a friendship into love?

Why do we have to bump into people that does not know (or simply doesn’t want to) how to love us? Are there people in this world that just can’t love, or is it that they don’t want to?

We all know this kind of relationships are the ones that leave a mark in us, even more than relationships that lead us to love and happiness…but why are we still exposed to those? Is it worth it?

Why are we still willing to have a “cheap magazine” relationship, when we can be learning something… isn’t it just better to look for real love, the one that makes us grow, not to cry every time we listen to this song?

I believe the only way to really enjoy “Like a Friend”, and Pulp please forgive me, is when you have found a person that is truly willing to love you, a person in which you can trust, a person that at some point, will not act like a friend…

Death to Los Campesinos

Hold on now, youngster, I have a new review!
If you have ever been an indie true lover, even for 15 minutes, you must know that once indie bands are known and played on the radio, they automatically lose their indie tag, and most of the time, their originality. However, and I feel deeply sorry for Los Campesinos!’ fame and money, this haven’t happened to them, and it has been a gorgeous gift for us indie lovers.

Death to Los Campesinos is the perfect opening theme of a very nice and joyful album, also one of my favourite power songs.

The song doesn’t relate any understandable yet interesting ideas…being their main and most powerful phrase “I invented you, and I will destroy you” ; as if love could be destroyed, as if memory could be erased, as if music could be forgotten…

But beware, songs like these, even when can be easily slight and suitable to be forgotten within the arks of music in a short term, could CTRL-ALT-DEL former music taste, for better or worse.
