Ένα υπέροχο τραγούδι, το σινγκλ από το δισκογραφικό ντεμπούτο των ιδιαίτερα αξιοσημείωτων Καναδών indie popsetrs, Alvvays. Πρόκειται για το εκφραστικό όχημα της singer – songwriter Molly Rankin.

✻

An excellent song, the single from the highly notable Canadian indie popsetrs, Alvvays’ debut album. The band is an expressive vehicle for the singer – songwriter Molly Rankin.

❝ You’ve expressed explicitly your contempt for matrimony
You’ve student loans to pay and will not risk the alimony
We spend our days locked in a room, content inside a bubble
And in the nighttime we go out and scour the streets for trouble
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
During the summer, take me sailing out on the Atlantic
I won’t set my sights on other seas, there is no need to panic
So honey take me by the hand and we can sign some papers
Forget the invitations, floral arrangements and bread makers
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Too late to go out, too young to stay in
They’re talking about us living in sin
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, marry me, Archie
Hey, hey, A-R-C-H-I-E, hey ❞

Together we have a band MK-O [the music of Marina Kanavaki & Oannes]. So, it’s my pleasure to share with you his [and sometimes mine] musical selections. • Do visit his site. He has my highest recommendation!
