《單曲》Metronomy - Lately

英國電子組合 Metronomy 預計今年秋天發行久違三年第六張專輯，於 5/29 推出最新單曲「Lately」，MV 由團長 Joseph Mount 執導，靈感來自 1989 年迪士尼電影《Honey, I Shrunk the Kids》，縮小版的團員們住在卡式錄音帶中，從洞口鑽出來開始表演，有趣懷舊。

[Verse 1: ]

I've been waiting around

For someone like her to get in contact with me

She could be the greatest

I know she'd be the greatest

If only she was open to see me

It's alright though

'Cause I got time

Time isn't my essence and time isn't the line

It's alright though

She'll give me a buzz

I'll call her my baby

And she'll call me her cuz

Well, I think I'm in love 'cause

[Chorus: ]

Lately, I call you when I do nothing, oh
Lately, I call you when I do nothing, oh

[Verse 2: ]

Well, that is love

Yeah, that is love and it's hard to do

It's a job for two

[Bridge: ]

How do I do what I do

If I don't get nothing from you?

And I've so much work what to do

Yeah, I've so much work to do now

Oh, it's work for you 'cause

[Chorus: ]

Lately, I call you when I do nothing, oh
Lately, I call you when I do nothing, oh

“This music video is a pop promo in the grand tradition of pop promos: End of school on a Friday afternoon, Mysterious little people that live in a cassette tape, concerned parents and special FX. The song and video are both about growing up.

I’ve absolutely loved taking the opportunity to direct our own music videos. I have quite strong opinions on what music videos are for in 2019 and how they should be presented and this has been a chance for me to put my money where my mouth is!

The most impressive thing I’ve realised is how much of a group effort creating a music video is. I’ve always known it, but this time I’ve obviously worked much closer with the various characters, involved in every department. So, thank you to them.” — Joe
