Were you mesmerized, back in 1975, by 10 CC’s “I’m Not in Love”–that alluring, wavy groove that could put an audience into a trance?
You’ll hear echos of that alluring, wavy groove in “Something Just Like This,” the result of rock icons Coldplay teaming with the Hot! Hotter! Hottest! band of the moment, duo Drew Taggert and Alex Pall known as The Chainsmokers.
In addition to the alluring melody, “Something Just Like This” is charming and insightful. Even literary.
I’ve been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
The song looks at love with a gentle eye.
I’m not looking for somebody
With some superhuman gifts…
…Just somebody I can turn to
Somebody I can kiss
With lots of gaily sung
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo
The video is child friendly and child-like –simple drawings on a chalkboard with witty and clever visuals.
“Something Just Like this” currently ranks #16 on Top 40, and is also charting on Adult Top 40 and Alternative formats.
Trust us: Boomer Music Update readers might recall that last year we featured The Chainsmoker’s “Closer” way early; it went to #1 on Billboards Hot 100 and stayed there for three months!
“Memories…Do Not Open ” The Chainsmokers highly anticipated first full-length solo album, is slated for release on April 7th.
Also in April, The Chainsmokers kick off a 40 city tour.
