Salvador Sobral - Amar Pelos Dois

A: Salvador Sobral
S: Amar Pelos Dois

If one day someone asks about me

Say that I lived just to love you

Before you, I only existed

Tired and without a thing to offer

 

My dear, listen to my prayers

I ask you to come back, that you come back to love me

I know that we can't love alone *

Maybe little by little you can learn again

 

My dear, listen to my prayers

I ask you to come back, that you come back to love me

I know that we can't love alone

Maybe little by little you can learn again

 

If your heart don't wish to do so

To feel the passion, If it don't want to suffer

Without making plans about what will happen

.... my Heart can love for the both of us

J. Cole - Work Out

A: J. Cole
S: Work Out

Nothing makes a hip hop song better than sampling another song, so this is right up there with Kanye's Diamonds From Sierra Leone and 2Pac's Ghetto Gospel. Paula Abdul might just add that special something that makes this extra smooth.

... I'm only here for the night.

The National - The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness

A: The National
S: The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness

We’re in a different kind of thing now, Matt Berninger notes in the chorus of the National’s new song. It could be his way of addressing the dark turn things have taken in the four years since the band’s last album, Trouble Will Find Me. But The System is also a different kind of thing for the National. Enjoy.

... maybe I listen more than you think.

Ella Vos - You Don't Know About Me

A: Ella Vos
S: You Don't Know About Me

On its surface, Vos' new song fits comfortably alongside the current synth pop landscape. Its casual attitude could be read as a send off to a would-be lover; instead, it is a message from the mother of a young son to a world in which male legislators are still making decisions about young women's bodies and rights.

... why the hell should you decide.

Perfume Genius - Die 4 You

A: Perfume Genius
S: Die 4 You

Featuring Mike Hadreas’s hushed voice and a simple electric piano, Die 4 You puts a spin on a common trope found in love songs, sacrificing life for a loved one. Hadreas told The FADER that this song is about erotic asphyxiation, where people restrict their oxygen intake during sexual activity.

... my love, take your time.

LCD Soundsystem - Call The Police

A: LCD Soundsystem
S: Call The Police

Six years have passed since LCD Soundsystem played what was supposed to be their farewell concert. Call the Police finds Murphy and his bandmates raring to go, aiming for the bleachers like they haven’t since All My Friends. Like that staple of their repertoire, Call the Police is a big, bold anthem with emotion to spare, and near shameless about its grip on the heartstrings.

... and your body will get cold.

Milky Chance - Blossom

A: Milky Chance
S: Blossom

Milky Chance have shared a brand new video of their latest single Blossom, which is out via Republic Records just in time to return to the states for their U.S. tour. The original version can be found on the group’s second full-length album, which is out now!

... everything you hear is empty words.
