Badda bing, badda bang and here we are at Week 33 and the second week of a shiny new year. Let's hope 2022 is less of a ballache than 2021 and Covid-19 finally gets the message. You're clingy and noone likes you Covid, sorry for being brutally honest, but there you go! Right less shite talk and more tunage I hear you say, my musical friends.
The XX are a band that my kid sister put me onto a good few years ago and what a steer it was. These guys are the job and I'm hopeful that some of you have never heard of them and will receive this Three song bounty for your ears. They are an English indie rock band from Wandsworth in England's capital city of London and have been jamming together since 2005. Romy Madley Croft, Oliver Sim and Jamie Smith make up the trio. Right, let's crack on.
For those unfamiliar with TTT or Three Tune Tuesday....
The jist is as follows
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs which I like to listen to and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still,why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music. You'll also be in with a chance of winning a prize.
Here are the week thirty three recommendations for Three Tune Tuesday
** Drum roll please.....**
The XX - Replica
I love the way both Sim and Croft sing in XX songs and well the voice complement each other. One voice alone would be good, but the two blending together is a sound to behold, if you'll allow me to mix my metaphors.
Seem right, seem wrong
Only difference is that I'm that one
Second time a wrap
Feels like this song's already been sung
Mirroring situations like you're an imitation
Do I watch and repeat?
And as if I tried to, I turned out just like you
Do we watch and repeat?
They all say I will become a replica
Your mistakes were only chemical
25 and you're just like me
Is it in my nature to be stuck on repeat?
Another encore to an aftershow
Do I chase the night or does the night chase me?
Mirroring situations like you're an imitation
Do I watch and repeat?
And as if I tried to, I turned out just like you
Do we watch and repeat?
They all say I will become a replica
Your mistakes were only chemical
Do I chase the night or does the night chase me?
Do I chase the night or does the night chase me?
They all say I will become a replica
Your mistakes were only chemical
The XX - VCR
This one is from the self titled album The XX which is well worth a whirl on your turn table and at 38:39, it's not too much of an investment of time.
You, you still have all the answers
And you, you still have them too
And we, we live half in the day time
And we, we live half at night
Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know, you just do
When I find myself by the sea, in another's company by the sea
When I go out the pier, gonna dive and have no fear
Because you, you just know, you just do
Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know, you just do
The XX - Heart Skipped a Beat
Another one from the album The XX.
Please don't say we're done when I'm not finished, I could give so much more
Make you feel like never before, welcome they said, welcome to the floor
It's been a while and you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand, but sometimes, I still need you
Sometimes I still need you (sometimes I still need you)
Sometimes I still need you (sometimes I still need you)
Sometimes I still need you (sometimes I still need you)
Sometimes I still need you
And I was struggling to get in, left waiting outside your door
I was sure, you'd give me more
No need to come to me, when I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear, you weren't near, near enough for me
Heart skipped a beat, and when I caught it you were out of reach
But I am sure, I am sure, you've heard it before
Heart skipped a beat, and when I caught it you were out of reach
But I am sure, I am sure, you've heard it before
Heart skipped a beat, and when I caught it you were out of reach
But I am sure, I am sure, you've heard it before
Heart skipped a beat, and when I caught it you were out of reach
And I am sure, I am sure, you've heard it before
