The first time I heard this song I wasn't quite sure if I liked it. So I listened again. and again. and again. In fact, I'm still listening to it. It took me some time to warm up to it, but now I'm hooked....like that repeating beat on her keyboard starting halfway into the song, which may be its only downfall. This has a certain "I'm an indie girl, hear me roar" feel to it.
On a side note- I'm trying to decide where this song fits into my life, a quirk I seem to have with music. I have to file each song into a category like: unassuming reading music, doing the dishes and having a great time, driving with the windows down, motivation to complete a project, walking through the woods, walking to get the mail, rainy days, etc." Otherwise, it gets lost somewhere between the multiple playlists that I seem to create as prescriptions for daily life... with suggestions attached for consumption. Seriously, I just suggested someone put away a song until winter for it to be appreciated properly.
Anyway, this song is perfectly good for listening to in the present. Perhaps I'll listen when I'm feeling like I have something to say without wanting to give the impression that I really care. Nonchalant is a fitting description. Certainly, Au Revior Simone's Shadows doesn't allow anyone to dwell on a rough day. Rather, it's a polite way of saying "I'm better than whatever you're putting me through right now, but I still believe in what we have despite you being a temporary disappointment." :)
