This week’s song of the week is the sweet and satisfying “Five Years Time” by Noah and the Whale. Noah and the Whale is a folky rock outfit out of London, comprised of five members Charlie, Doug, Urby, Laura, and Fiddle. Their first single, “Five Years Time” is a simple melody with practically spoken verses and a catchy, danceable chorus. However,underneath this saccharine exterior is a layering of violin, ukulele, flute, claps, and several other unrecognizable clicking sounds. The video is shot in the nostalgic prep style of a Wes Anderson film with choreography fitting of a second grade class. All in all it’s a light-hearted, infectious tune that makes you wish you were cool enough to be invited to their parties.
“And it’s Love, love, love. All through our bodies.”
