Here's a classic for you all!
I don't know how many people will know this song as it wasn't super mainstream, but it is one that I enjoy and wanted to share my take on it with the community here.
The song follows a bit of a non-traditional structure which is probably one of my favorite parts. The main hook "Somewhere only we know" doesn't actually hit until after the second verse and then we get a repeat of it to finish the rest of the song. Pop music, which I do love, can be somewhat formulaic at times so when a song does something different - even as subtle as structure change like this - it tends to stand out for me.
I love the bouncy vibe it has that straddles the line between sad and happy very delicately. The vocals are delivered with a sense of desperation while the music floats on, almost fantasy like in it's tempo and nature. Something about how it all comes together makes it a song that has always stood out for me because it doesn't quite fit into any particular box - and I love that.
I hope you enjoy my acoustic rendition of it! Thanks for listening!
