It’s Yours If You Want It Too
Cut Copy “Where I’m Going”
There had to a be a point in the process of writing this song when Dan Whitford realized that his lyrics needed to directly state exactly what the music was communicating, and that anything else would feel like a cheat. When you write a song that sounds exactly like you’re heading off to a brighter, better, happier world, you have to let everyone know it and invite them all along for the trip. This is very much a “journey, not the destination” thing too — when I hear this, I don’t even care about where we’re all going, I just want the joy, the adventure and discovery to last forever. This is the kind of upbeat pop song that actively makes life more enjoyable.
