Song of 9/03/2010: Just the Girl by the Click Five. Does anyone out in wordpress/tumblr land use a plugin to crosspost between wordpress and tumblr. The one I was recommended doesn’t work and I’m kind of sick of double posting. Or I can just stop posting in once place. Any thoughts? K thnx. :p I am ridiculously tired today. The only thing I can think of is that it’s the end of the week.. and it was another stressful week.. and other than that I think my brain wants to be done for a while. So I think I’m going to call it a night super early tonight and starting tomorrow use my three-day weekend productively (unless of course you want to hang out, you’re much more important than productivity… MUCH more important <3 hint. ahem. hint.) Anyways. This song has always felt a little juvenile to me. It's a really cute song about a tormented crush, but the way the female is behaving it's like she's a 6 year old boy. I'm just saying. The video is kind of cool, kind of. I had trouble watching it without thinking about all of the things the band is mimicking. It bothers me that someone commented on one of their other videos about how this band gives them hope for rock and roll. This is not rock and roll. This is pop. It's cute but there's no depth or soul. None. Not to say that all rock has soul. But rock, in my opinion, doesn't tend to have cute synthesizing piano going on. It's just to.. pop. It's still a good song though, if you take it at what it is, a cute pop ballad about another emo guy who just can't quite seem to get the girl.
