The first impression I had on the music video was that I loved the song but wasn't completely sure about the little boy and all the seemingly metaphorical aspects like the airplanes. After reading the director's words, the music video made more sense: "It's a story about unrequited love and how with age, we don't necessarily mature. As a child, all we want is love and attention and that story never grows old, it just takes a different form as we age. So it's not so much about 'all men are boys,' but just [that] all of us are forever young. Old habits never die."
With a newly-released, first-time album and bookings to play at the Cochella music festival this year, Wild Belle is a band to keep your eye on. Singing alongside her brother Elliot, Natalie Bergman has put herself out into not only the music, but the fashion world. Her cool, breezy, 60's-inspired dressing goes perfectly with the band's psychedelic, indie rock feel in their music. Elliot, a multi-instrumental collage graduate, plays the saxophone, piano, and really most all of the instrumentals in the songs. Not since a couple days ago, March 12, had they released more but three singles- all phenomenal, but making you wish there was more to listen too. Their first and most successful single so far, Keep You, was featured in Pitch Perfect, which I'm sure you have most all watched, but have not heard the whole song (featured above). Also feature is Wild Belle's song Backslider, an equally good song with a reggae beat and sound. Both are featured in the new album, Isles, which you can find on iTunes. Also check out their song It's Too Late, featured on a previous post called 'Music: A Playlist'.
