    Fantastic, great track, I love it! This more than hints of the Bee Gees, but Broken Bells have brought disco up to date for the modern generation. Hopefully it will find a new audience who aren't old enough to remember the 70's disco sound first time around. So looking forward to hearing the rest of this album.

    This album, in it's entirety is a fabulously relaxing masterpiece! The sound quality and clarity is amazing, which is a prerequisite of mine. The instrumentals and voices play so well together. Absolutely beautiful!
    Thanks for a gift of "chill" after a long day.

    Bee Gees meets The Cure's fascination street meets Love and Rockets. Nothing wrong with those sounds all together.

      I was thinking the acoustic was more like Dido's "Thank-you". Maybe I'm the only one?

    You have to give this song a chance, the first couple of times i heard it i wasn't impressed, but once the chorus got stuck in my head i couldn't stop listening to it.

    • @sdw4527
      @sdw4527 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Felt the same way. Didn't like it at all on first listen. After a couple of listens, I really like it. Not my favorite on the album, but still a very good song.

  • @drakebellfreak94
    @drakebellfreak94 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    There are just so many bands today that take us on a futuristic step back in time.. Tame Impala, Unknown Mortal Orchestra and Temples seem like The Beatles, and now, Broken Bells remind us of the Bee Gee's! This is such a delight.

  • @sarahhernandez7560

    I remember the first time I heard on the radio the beginning caught my attention and I had accidentally skipped it and I was bummed out but luckily the day after it came out again and I loved it👍

    Outstanding guys, Just heard you on WFUV today for the first time and instantly fell in love. This song has a distinct touch of the Bee Gee's and the Cure. Absolutely fantastic falsetto. Quite sexy in fact. Thumbs up from a fellow singer and musician.

  • @SonOfLancereto68
    @SonOfLancereto68 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Wow!! This song has a little bit of everything!! It has an intro like Sign Your Name by Kristin Mainhart, a back beat similar to Whodini"s Friends (Yes, I'm old), vocals reminiscent of Glenn Shorrock of The Little River Band or Portugal. The Man and even a sampling of Jennifer Lopez's Love Don't Cost a Thing (or Brandi and Monica's The Boy is Mine) and, oh yes, a little bit of Nights On Broadway by The Bee Gees, of course. Great Song!!!

    First time I heard this on Sirius XMU a few weeks back, host Jenny Elescu as the listener to see if they felt the same the Bee Gee's vibe in this song that she did. She was bang on.

    I thought The Broken Bells were a short-lived experiment that we wouldn't hear from again. This is a pretty cool song; the chorus is (no doubt intentionally) reminiscent of the Bee Gees better work. This could be a hit with some airplay.

    Girl take a seat, rest your weary bones
    Your secrets safe in my hands
    Tell me about the years and
    Let me buy an hour
    Maybe help me to understand
    Ooh ain't nobody callin'
    Ain't nobody home
    What a lovely day to be lonely
    You're holding on for life
    Holding on for life oh
    Holding on for love.
    You're holding on for life
    Holding on for life oh
    Holding on for love.
    Light another cigarette
    Burning in the cold
    Waiting on the street for your man
    You're trying not to look so
    Young and miserable
    You gotta get your kicks while you can
    In the lighted corner, sitting on your own
    What a lovely day to be lonely
    You're holding on for life
    Holding on for life oh
    Holding on for love.
    You're holding on for life
    Holding on for life oh
    Holding on for love.
    Well you might belong to another time
    Still you have to carry on here
    No where else to go and you never know
    What to hide and what to show, no
    You're holding on for life
    Holding on for life oh
    Holding on for love.
    You're holding on for life
    Holding on for life oh
    Holding on for love.

    And before we even go there, yes, I'm aware that they sound even more like "insert-band-here"... Good for you, you figured it out. Except that wasn't even the point. I'm only singling-out the Bee Gees because other people seem to hear that. (And honestly, if you don't hear a little bit of them in the chorus, I'd be very surprised... )

    After listening to "Reflektor" for two and a half straight weeks, it was going to take something special to break the routine. I should have guessed it would be Broken Bells.
