Since February this year I have been obsessed with a song by Summer Camp called, I Want You. No day has gone by where I haven’t played this over and over every single day. There is so much that I love about this song, it just causes every part of me to be entirely happy. The lyrics, the girl’s voice, the music- everything. When it kicks in- it blows your mind. Then when it ends you play it all over again just so you can get that “Fuck me, this is out of this world” feeling all over again.
“If I could i’d kiss your lips so hard your entire face would bruise.” Such a gorgeous line. We’ve all had someone in our lives that we just want. Nothing else, no one else is enough- just that one person. You want to hold them so fucking close, so you’re part of them for a while. The desperation in this song is heartbreaking, anyone who cannot relate to it clearly has a heart of stone.
When the bass comes in, it just transforms this song into one of the best things I’ve heard in a long time. It’s just stunning from start to finish. Forget wanting a person so badly it hurts, I just want to play this over and over- when I’m not listening to this, nothing feels right. Extreme? Possibly. I just can’t get enough of this song.
It’s simple yet at the same time utterly complex. “You’re so smart, you break my heart.”– that line means a lot to me right now, for too many personal reasons.
It’s only April, but it’s my song of the summer. More than likely my song of the year too.
