Bittersweet – Jet Lag Gemini
Jet Lag Gemini are the fairly known Americans with a choir like persona, as their harmonies flow with their music perfectly. The lyrics just make the harmonies seem even more beautiful. The poppy feel to this song , makes it more approachable by the average day follower of the pigeon detectives or the killers. They sound like a pick’a’mix of kids in glass houses mixed with you me at six and taking back Sunday. Their lyrics a fairly understandable and relatable to average day life.
This specific song , is presumably about a girl that wants everything and leave’s her dignity behind with it. The lyric that hints at this would be “Even though you want it
You really shouldn't think about it. Treason is a tar pit” and the use of the gloriously repetitive chorus “And you can find it in a heartbeat, and leave it tangled in the bed sheets. You burn your bridges in the backseat then show up widowed on the high street” .
This situation is blatantly relevant to everyday life in the fact that , it’s about wanting what you don’t have and being unsatisfied with the finished product. . . Hence the title being bittersweet ; as this is from the male point of view. The guitar at the beginning is a simple riff and compliments the lyrics and pace of the song skilfully. The stop start motion and elongation of the verses , make the chorus seem like a sudden change and suggests a bit of bitterness from the male.
All in all , the blunt lyrics clearly show promise and as a rating out of 10 I would give this song a 8 , purely because I adore the vocals and the changing pace of the overall piece.
