This song has been rattling around my head of late. The Bird & The Bee are bringing back some of the better parts of the 60's aesthetic, including the vocal style of their lead singer. The verse and the chorus also seem to be completely different songs, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were composed separately - the keyboard chords in the chorus sound like refugees from an UNKLE or Radiohead track while the quasi-kaleidoscope sounds in the verse might have been put together by Cafe Tacuba.
I'm actually not a big fan of the video, it tends to distract from the lyrics and their delivery - simultaneously wistful, offhand and bored. A cute, clever idea executed in a cute, clever fashion.
And with excellent manners.
