Clap Your Hands Say Yeah – Underwater (You & Me)
CYHSAY first album took me ages to really get used to, maybe it was Alec Ounsworth’s vocal or the hype. But, it has become an old friend now. Anticipation has been high for album number two. While, listening to “Some Loud Thunder”, the album will surprise a lot of people. I noticed a true gem of a tune hidden right at the end. “Underwater” just hit a chord with me unlike a song has in a long time. It is slightly repetitive, but the last bit where it starts to get quite and you hear the lines “We’ll retreat to the bottom of the sea./We were destined to live out our lives underwater, you and me” ever so quietly it is a powerful moment.
