Music Monday: Friendly Fires – Kiss of Life

Can you just give me a minute? I’m sorry I just need to calm down. Have you ever seen anyone dance like Ed Macfarlane? Say what you like about him, that kid can absolutely move it. Here he is showing the ladies what his hips can do…oh I’m sorry I’ve come over all unnecessary again.

This song premiered on Zane ‘Couldn’t Stop Talking Over Great Music If My Life Depended On It’ Lowe’s show as the ‘Hottest Record in the World’ and as much as I’d gladly like to sock the endlessly waffling man right in his face he’s not wrong there. If I am being honest, when I first heard this song I didn’t like it at all. Stick with it, it really grows on you.

The video was shot in Ibiza and shows the band singing and dancing on the beach. Well I say band. I mean Ed. Well. I said dancing. I mean making me want to claw my own hair out whilst squeaking like a gerbil. I love people who throw themselves around like they’re in a tumble dryer. You go Ed ‘Snakehips’. You go.

Down at heels, music obsessed girl who works in admin. Frequently found talking nonsense on audio blogs, writing nonsense on written blogs or when the internet is down, talking to herself. Life lurches from one disaster to another, but at least it's amusing. I like cats and rats. My fear is they will one day form an allegiance and take over the world. You saw it here first.
