In a world of fly-by-night songs intended to make you smile for a few seconds or to keep you dancing throughout the high street night, Favourite Squeeze does it a little differently with their latest release, "The Things We Do for Life. This is not some disposable pop track; it's a sincere plea to stop, breathe, and think about what really matters.
Riding a warm, groovy bottom end, the song marries pop lightness with the kind of jazzy touch that is familiar yet refreshingly new. But the song's glory is its intention, "It's for all those times when life feels so heavy and scary that you just have to laugh," the band said of the song in a statement Written about life when it's heavy and messy, "The Things We Do for Life" offers a reminder that the chaos is also central to the fact that who we are, and the people we love, hold us steadfast in the storm.
The singing has a conversational integrity that makes you lean in, and the instrumentation has a warm, unforced flow; they share a suiting balance of hope and thoughtfulness. There's no heavyhandedness, no detritus, just music that hip-trusts its earnestness to the fore. It's a lingering song, yet not of the flashbulb variety, but because it feels honest.
Audiences will be caught between nodding along to the groove and silent moments of reflection. It's music with purpose, designed not just to be heard, but to be felt. Favourite Squeeze have gifted us more than a track: they have offered a crucial reminder of why we love, why we fight, and why, ultimately, all the things we do for life are worth it.
