The Airportline: Observations

So it's Saturday again and time for another song. The 23rd of March 2005 I made a mix-cd to my sister with the somewhat mushy and melodramatic title ‘From One Heart To Another’. It consisted of 15 songs with motivations. The forthcoming 15 Saturdays I will present one of these songs per week with the motivations translated into English, so that you always have a song I thought was great in March of 2005 to listen to as you begin the weekend. This is song number 6 in the series. My motivation was:

The drums, the hypnotic synt which flows back and forth like a hangover. Mike Skinners voice is consumed with lost chances, confusion and an evening where it all goes wrong. It's the perfect song about a night out in search for something, for that person, for that drug, for something good that never comes. From The Streets second album.
