We’ve all been there. You catch that intoxicating glance from across the room, you experience that immediate and inescapable fall, that look, that magic spell, that love at first sight. Yes, we’ve all been there, we’ve all been helplessly hooked, and sometimes, people write songs about that strange and all-encompassing glamour – in fact, lots of people write songs about it; it is perhaps the most common theme in pop music. But such songs always need to move with the times, carry the theme on into the contemporary world, and if you are looking for a song that is doing just that, then “Levitate” is the one for you.
Set to The Trusted’s trademark blend of pop accessibility and indie cool, rock groove, and a punkish energy, it is a song that balances both a timeless romance and a sonic modernity. It is also a song with fantastic dynamics at play – the headlong, euphoric rushes tempered by more spacious deliveries and a lulling musical restraint, all of which make things even more dramatic when the song explodes back into life.
The effect of love never changes; it is as old as humanity itself, and it just needs art’s response keep evolving. It has inspired symphonies and sonnets, great paintings and epic music. Now it has also given us the coolest cutting-edge, indie song of the moment. That’s the power of love.
