Mesmerising Music III - BOY

Hey mum, you know Vonder and Bloom right? 
BOY is sort of a lighthearted, Swiss-German version of them.

I´ve been listening to them a lot here, at the Icelandic Scout Centre where I´m currently working for room and board. 
Wait, Swiss-German you said? So no Sigur Rós, Ólafur Arnalds, Múm, Frakkur, then? Nah, surprisingly. You know how when you listen to Glosoli, or 3055, or Green Grass of Tunnel, you can kind of see and feel the mountains, the black sand beaches, the little streams all around you? Well, the mountains, black sand beaches and little streams kind of make you hear the music and that makes for quite enough impressions :) 

So back to BOY. Upbeat in a calm way, dreamy but with both feet on the ground, happy in a non-ecstatic way. 

The song that first introduced me to them is this acoustic version of 
´Drive Darling´.
The next link I clicked on was their video for Little Numbers, but it was only yesterday that I really listened to the lyrics, and I loved the ease with which they put that first stage of being in love into words and sounds:)
Oh Boy (just to keep things interesting, titlewise) is a song about that one perfect person we all know and none of us can reach.
Another thing we´ve all felt is stuck, in school, an job, a relationship, a life that provides us with all we require but none of what we need. We´ve all felt like this Waitress.
