NICOLAS MAKELBERGE - SO YOUNG

"We're living the dream alright"

Don't let the ambiguous, dull picture fool you. It was the only one I could find anywhere online and I know it looks like Superman hiding in his fortress of solitude or something. Anyway, the song is terrific. I used to listen to this a bunch on the trains in England because it's got a great propulsive synth line that soundtracks the passing scenery perfectly. It's going to sound a bit dull at first, but wait until the chorus. If it doesn't grab you the first time, listen to it again. It will, trust me. And then there'll be the magic moment where you catch yourself singing it as you're driving to work or humming it at the store. Those Swedes'll do that to you.
