The harmonies that weave in and out make it easy for me to listen to her as well.<\/p>\n<p>Instrument wise, I love the way the drums are played, there\u2019s a cymbal choke that comes in as punctuation, the drums are not playing a strict waltz it\u2019s got an off beat jazz feel to it, the double bass tasty too.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This song is stunning!<\/p>\n<p>With the classical time signature there\u2019s a modern element in the lyrics\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c07909 something 02<\/p>\n<p>Was the number I rang when I was down and feeling<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Blue,<\/p>\n<p>Mmmm said he was grown up ready to start<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>anew\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>I love the reference to modern mobile tech there in the lyrics\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>Beautiful work Blossom.<\/p>\n<p>This is what she had to say about the song:<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI actually wrote this when I was 16. It was originally slow and sad, and written about a fictional situation. I used to write like that all the time. Now, it actually mirrors an experience I\u2019ve had; I feel as if I wrote it for myself. It\u2019s weirdly specific, and it\u2019s almost like I knew the person I was going to experience this confusing love with. I also predicted Michael Jackson\u2019s death, so this would make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Blossom is from London, and this song is from her EP \u201cMaybe In Love (Maybe Not)\u201d which came out on 18th January. She\u2019s got gigs coming up this year, I\u2019d really love to hear how this song translates live.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are so many things that I like about this song, first of all it\u2019s in 3\/4 time.
