Sam's Top 5 Love Songs: #4 Digital but very lovely...



 #4: Digital Love-Daft Punk

Robots apparently have emotion to people and if you needed proof of that little oddity let me direct you to this Discovery single.

It’s a light song that’s very spacey and maintains that kind of childlike innocence with a very playful approach and like a lot of Daft Punk tracks it’s rather disco tinged track that’s very repetitive lyrically but that doesn’t mask the exclamation in lines like, “You make this dream come true,” and how, “Last night I had this dream about you, in this dream I’m dancing right besides you, and it looked like everyone was having fun the kind of feeling I’ve waited so long,” it’s simplicity at the most romantically child like and innocent  is a good way to help its’ very dreamy vibes. 

It’s continues along at a fairly steady pace before blasting this very late 70’s kind of early 80’s pop guitar solo that’s just this bad ass fret tapping bit of awesome before leading  into the line, “why Don’t You play the game?”which  not only does that serve as kind of a pusher of sorts to motivate the listener to get those little nervous feelings we all have out of the way and go ask that crush out damnit but kind of leads to a resolve to the tune that while it’s over your chances aren’t and in turn you just need to get out and play this crazy little game called love.

When you really think about it that’s a lot to really say for a couple of soulless robots now isn’t it?
