This stuff still slaps in 2023. I suspect it’ll always be good to travel back in time with our minds…

[@WoodlandAsh]

Reminds me of the quote from the movie time machine where it talks about our own time machines: memories taking us into the past & dreams into the future. The truth is that music paints time as art paints space, so it’s easy to be pulled back to certain moments. For me this song was the ‘salve’ when i released the guy who I’d spent months falling over myself to please, help, do things for was straight and just enjoyed having a servant to do things for him. Youth is full of folly heh.

[@keness4768]

@WoodlandAsh well I think we've all been there at one time or another. I can recall a time being so desperate to make a relationship work out to complete some empty, unfulfilled part of myself. The irony is, when we grow to understand ourselves and work on our own failings, partners notice, and everything falls into place. La roux's been there... I can hear it in the emotion she sang with.

[@AliensPlzAbductMe]

And 2024

[@gorbsnorb]

I have been searching for this song for 7 YEARS. I heard it in a coffee shop in Romania! At LAST

[@Bulletbeam]

Now you can die in peace. And who doesn't after hearing this joyful song. Bless :D

it’s been 10 years, huh? back in the days I was literally obsessed with her songs and this one was my favorite. I kinda feel old and sad :/

It's very much of a specific era, just not the one in which it was made

Their entire album got me though my extreme depression back before I dropped out of college (2009-2010).

[@astermelon7295]

indeed bro

[@PatrickSantos-sn8ox]

I was dope sick and getting well at 5am .....this was on LOGO music videos. ..love her....

[@kaiajohnson7032]

WHY ISNT SHE STILL RELEVANT....!!! SHES AMAZING. IN MY OPINION.

[@SixtySecondYoga]

I guess she shaded a load of people and slagged people off and fell out of favour? Maybe that's it.

[@SixtySecondYoga]

Or maybe it's just the trend for this type of music went out of fashion.

[@leggobommie3546]

+SixtySecond Yoga its poor advetising no-one knew about trouble in paradise (but it got to number 2 on the album chart for a short period.) (but mainly it was the record company as it was unknown to many of her fans that new music was released)

[@Zoldark1]

+Kaia Johnson perhaps out of favor with main stream but holds a spot on my charts but then again i love her hair so if she hadnt the talent and just that id probally still watch but the fact there are sevral of the songs on first album i adore does help matters and she is amazeing and probally can keep some of her privicy if she aint all blown up a blessing i would think lol though if i ever did see her i would want a autograph =)

[@brandonsamuels6457]

fuck what "people" think is relevant, relevant is shallow meaningless music with no message and no lasting effect. personally I think if an artist isnt widely known or has become "irrelevant" that they probably getting to show us there truest self without bullying or interference from the business side of showbiz.

[@MemphThree]

I dunno, but after years of having this song in my playlist it struck me... La roux is like the Eurytmics of our generation. Listening to this song after listening to Must be talking to an Angel is like listening to the same sort of song but from diffrent circumstances. One about a girl fully in love with her lover. And the other about a girl realising she is being used. Sort of continuation, but 33 years later. I would have loved to hear Annie Lennox' itteration of this song and Elly Jacksons itteration of Must be talking to an Angel... I can only Imagine. Hats off to Elly and Ben for this amazing song. From the bottom of my hart, thank you.
