브룩클린 출신 인디 락 밴드 POP ETC가 얼마 전 2015년 신보 홍보 차 새로운 곡을 공개했는데요. 이들이 팀명을 Morning Benders에서 POP ETC로 변경하고, 음악적 스타일도 챔버 팝에서 8~90년대 팝로 바꾼 이후 가장 괜찮은 음악이 나온 것 같습니다. Running In Circles는 마치 1984년 Boys of Summer나 Dancing In the Dark와 함께 라디오에서 흘러나올 법한 직선적이고 키보드 중심의 뉴웨이브 사운드를 갖고 있습니다. 여기에 변화무쌍한 신스와 중독적인 멜로디가 얹어졌네요. 밴드는 이 곡을 "인생의 길을 잃고, 삶이 날 어디로 데려가는지 모르는 순간"에 관한 곡이라 설명합니다. 80년대 리바이벌이 이처럼 활기차게 들리는 경우는 드문데, POP ETC는 그들만의 독창적인 방식을 찾아낸 것 같습니다.
Every time I burn, every time I burn with you Air ends up Back at the starts, getting back at you Right where we left of The harder I push the easier it gets for you All the reasons why I can't never found words to explain this
Oh, we came so close We felt so good we can taste it But there's nothing left to do, It's nothing we can do to replace it It's part of me, it's part of you And it's wasting No there's nothing left to do, It's nothing we can do to replace it
Running in circles without you, I'm running in circles without you Running in circles without you, I'm running in circles without you
I can see your eyes, I can see your eyes looking for new life Where it once was a heart so hard, now is a cold place No matter how little time, I tell myself it was right Everyday I know I can only play this way to this far
Oh, we came so close We felt so good we can taste it But there's nothing left to do, It's nothing we can do to replace it It's part of me, it's part of you And it's wasting No there's nothing left to do, It's nothing we can do to replace it
Running in circles without you, I'm running in circles without you Running in circles without you, I'm running in circles without you
