когда мы вместе

Eerie Summer “тогда было все по-другому”

As you can maybe tell by the title of this song, Eerie Summer are a band from St. Petersburg, Russia. A majority of their songs are sung in English, but this one is not. This is good old fashioned lovelorn indie-pop, and even if the words are not in English, the translated lyrics conform to the conventions of the genre. I’m not sure why I’m even vaguely surprised by that – if you’re attracted to this particular vibe, you’ve almost certainly bought into the sentiment as well as the sound. Going on the translation I have, this is song is basically a girl trying to figure out where she stands with someone she’s been hooking up with – “I thought that you can save me / this is stupid, mmmm sorry / I like everything we do when we are together.” I’m not sure whether something is being lost in translation, but I like the way those ideas flow together, and how the bashful apology goes straight into a more forthright statement about enjoying their company. It’s such a relatable sentiment for a song, but you just wanna be like “hey, chill out, it’ll be fiiiiiine.”

Buy it from Bandcamp.
