I said I would come into the 21st century and tell you about a relatively new band (for me) that I quite like. This band is one that is a wee bit different from what I am into but I like their two albums and they have some banging tunes. It's a London four piece. And they are all lovely ladies. They werre formed by Juliette Jackson in 2014.
I first came across one of their songs called Cupid a couple of years ago so I looked them up. The lyrics are excellent. I also like the beats they put behind their tracks. The song Cupid is one of those songs that could have been released in the 70's. It's a classic from the start.
Cupid
Lyrics
I'm gonna get this perfectly right
I'm gonna get this perfectly right
I've been trying to catch an eye for a lifetime
I'm gonna get this perfectly right
He said, "I'm gonna shoot the perfect bullseye"
Draw the arrow back
Steel yourself
Tighten the string on your bow
Sorry I'm not your guy
Sorry I'm not your guy
Sorry I'm not
I've been waiting for a girl like you
Uh uh uh
And I'm not ready for the change
I'm gonna get this perfectly right
He said, "I'm gonna make the Earth shake tonight"
Pineapple juice, tropical Rubicon courage
Yeah, baby, take my wallet, my round
See my Johnny artfully tucked out
Draw the arrow back
Steel yourself
Tighten the string on the bow, bow
Uh uh uh
I've been waiting for a girl like you
Uh uh uh
I'm not ready for the change
Time to turn, and run from romance
I'm backing out
Hit the target, hit the target another time
Sorry I'm not your guy
Sorry I'm not
Uh uh uh
I've been waiting for a girl like you
Uh uh uh
I'm not ready for the change
Uh uh uh
I've been waiting for a girl like you
Uh uh uh
I'm not ready for the change
Your Light
Their second big hit for me. Look the beat behind this one. Kind of dancey.

Lyrics
Don't, don't, don't, don't say another sorry today
One more time is more than you mean anyway
Lately I've been fine, floating away
Got so out of touch and started to levitate
Now we just hang around like a haircut growing out
This planet never needed gravity to drag you down
But days like this (days like this)
I forget (I forget)
My darkness (my darkness)
And remember your light
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
I remember your light
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
Don't, don't, don't, don't blame another night on the moon
Sometimes faith just sings to a different tune
Why do you have to take it out so hard on yourself (I don't wanna lose myself, lose myself)
We were promised the world, so was everyone else (I don't wanna lose myself, lose myself)
So maybe it's an end 'cause this don't feel like a start
But every generation probably thought they were the last
And days like this (days like this)
I forget (I forget)
My darkness (my darkness)
And remember your light
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I
And remember your light
Oh, oh, oh (I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I)
(Remember your light)
I wanna speak but I'm wondering how
And I wonder since when was my voice a foreign object in my mouth
But what you're doing for me
I just wish I could do, I could do it for you
Yeah what you're doing for me
I just wish I could do
I could do it for you (I could do it for you)
'Cause days like this (days like this)
I forget (I forget)
All of this (all of this)
And remember your light
And remember your light
And remember your light
(I don't wanna lose myself)
(Wanna lose myself)
(Wanna lose myself)
And remember your light
(I don't wanna lose myself)
(Wanna lose myself)
(Wanna lose myself)
And remember your light
Barcelona
This one has Bitcoin in it's lyrics .Enough Said. When I was listening to the lyrics I thought it was brilliant actually. Just shows how much crypto has made millionaires of many people in the world and has also become a subject of everyday life.
Lyrics
One more blowout
One more friend moves away
Barcelona
I wish that I was so brave
I'm at the party, wondering if it's alright
For me to toast her future and drink heavy for mine
I could stare at the sun (Stare at the sun)
Hoping to burn your face away
I could screw up my eyes (Screw up my eyes)
Willing the time to fly away
I'm okay, but I do miss you
Yeah, I do miss you
Yes, I do miss you
Oh-oh, oh-oh
One more friend, but trying not
To be jealous of how
The bitcoin finally paid off
In ponds and a beautiful house
I may be present, but I'm not all here
I'm looking at the baby, picking out her features
I could stare at the sun (Stare at the sun)
Hoping to burn your face away
I could screw up my eyes (Screw up my eyes)
Willing the time to fly away
I'm okay, but I do miss you
Yeah, I do miss you
Yes, I do miss you
Oh-oh, oh-oh
We're all moving on
And you're better off now
We're all moving on
But I'm terrible at goodbyes
I may be present, but I'm not all here
I'm looking at the baby, picking out her features
I'm at the party, wondering if it's alright
Will I toast her future and drink heavy for mine?
So there you have it. Thanks to
