College ft Electric Youth - Real Hero

The girlfriend's had this on repeat. Okay, okay, I've had this on repeat. It's plaintive and hopeful, the synthline throbs underneath, the vocals whisp over the top. The lyrics don't even matter, although they're also beautifully delicate and endearingly needy, then, when the parts are all put together it's perfectly indicative of late night LA, drifting through the smog in a neon haze. Yeah, coz I've been to LA so many times, but i HAVE seen Drive, the film from which it's taken, and the tune's simpleness echoes the movie's minimal dialogue and general disquiet.


Don't lie, you've had it on repeat too. The film's full soundtrack can be found right thurrr.
