It grows on you

You must think I’m addicted to Alexander Rybak, because now I’m doing a follow-up on ‘Dear Europe’. I’m not addicted, I’m just happy for the poor guy!
Alexander Rybak has recently released a brand new single. He’s named it ‘Funny Little World’. i don’t know about you, but I expected his next single to be a ‘Fairytale’ wannabee, with about the same rythms and melody. That’s what often happends when you’ve been lucky with a hit.
To quote myself
“I wish Alexander the best of luck to come up with something to beat this superhit.”
I wrote this on the 17th of may, the day after his big day in Russia. Now I will eat my word to the best of their purpose. His new song is less complexed than ‘Fairytale’. It’s build on loose rythms that can remind you of the beatles’ many wondersongs and the foundation is quite different form his old hit.
When I pressed play on the video on youtube, the beat that came out of the speakers of my computer made me go all “æærghh”. It was so different from how I thought it would sound and at first I thought “Oh my God, Alexander, what have you done this time?!”. Luckily, I didn’t stop the song. I waited and heard it severel times, and I must say that the text is fun to listen at, the melody is light and the rythm is really, really catchy. This song doesn’t strike you down by the first notes, but slowly grows on you instead. I believe that this will be the new summerhit, rather than the song ‘Fairytale’. Alexander, you definitively outsmarted me this time, going low rather than up was most likely some of the smartes thing you could ever have done!
Here is the link to the version I heard. And please, listen to it several times rather than one. I promise you that it WILL grow on you!

Hmmm. Jeg liker måten du formulerer deg på, på engelsk. Jeg leser like raskt engelsk som norsk, og denne teksten gjorde meg en smule rørt, kind off.
