A couple of days ago i heard this song on the radio.
It caught my attention because i liked it and it has video games in it.
It's not exactly what you expect when you hear the title. It's nice to see this cultural phenomenon called video games getting some exposure in other media in a less stereotype way. Just wanted to let you know this song exists.

If you listened to the song: Do you like it? What do you think it is about? Discuss.

Oh Good! I came into this thread expecting... Whatever you call this:

Anyway... The singer sounds like she doesn't know how to open her airways properly. This may just be her voice, but as a singer myself, stuff like that irks me a little.

Otherwise, yeah. It's pretty nice, I guess. I don't really have any strong feelings for/from the song, though. It's just... nice.

That song has pretty much NOTHING to do with videogames, unless it's all a metaphor for Super Mario or something and I'm not clever enough to notice.

Other than that, it's decent. Very rare to hear harps in music nowadays.

Really pleasant song, a lot more refined than I expected.

Ha, discuss, I see what you did there...

(ahem) Anyways, I don't like the kid's voice. It just grates on my nerves, like nails on a chalkboard. That kinda ruined the entire song for me.

I thought this was pretty awful.
Just sounded like a collection of unrelated phrases that sounded deep strung together.
One could argue that all songs are like that but this didn't seem to have any narrative/stylistic flow.

I heard that on the radio the other day and wanted to listen to it again but had no idea what I was even looking for.

Thank you, OP.

Yeah, I like it, it's very mellow and relaxing. One of what I call my 'morning songs'.

For those of you looking for meaning in this song: It has been suggested that it's about a couple who do fun things together (like playing video games) but actually the girl just wants him to notice her. And that's why it sounds happy and sad at the same time.

It's a rather... Interesting song, Sounds like shes using video games as either a euphemism for sex to make herself feel loved or for a distraction getting in her way when she wants to feel wanted. Thooough this is all just speculation.

Part of me really likes her voice >/>
