There's something about "Something About You" by Level 42 that's hard to pinpoint that makes me look forward to hearing it again and again.
Could be the amazing bass line.
Those epic falsettos and the harmonies.
Or perhaps the delicious chorus.
Can't forget about that surreal video, with the lead singer playing the Vaudeville clown in the engaging video.
It was all of those aspects and more: "Something About You" is simply a perfect pop song with a little R & B and synth tossed in. The right hooks in the right places.
All those little things that combine together to make me appreciate the whole of the song.
All those little things that combine together to make me appreciate the whole of the song.
The tune still transports me back to when Dad used to drive me home for lunch back in Grade 11. The great ones will do that to you, take us back when we first hear that first note. Pure nostalgia.
Fave lyrics:
"These changing years, they add to your confusion
Oh and you need to hear the time that told the truth"
