Another Good One...

I love this song because of the amazing sound, which Nick dubbed "rocky-retroy-dancy". I'm going with Punk Nouveau. Think White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand, The Killers, The Strokes, Fall Out Boy, and The Bravery, of course. But more importantly (because I'm a lyric nazi) I love the tongue in cheek demand for love when he's aware he hasn't earned it. The fact that he calls unconditional love "something for nothing" is so pleasantly unexpected.

Unconditional by The Bravey

I've spent my whole life surrounded
and I've spent my whole life alone
I wonder why I never wonder why
The easiest things are so hard
I just want, I just want love
I just want, I just want love
I just want, I just want love
I just want something
Something for nothing
Something, something for nothing

I'm a beggar and I'm a chooser
I'm accused, I'm an accuser
But nothing's unconditional

I hold the whole world accused
I've only got myself to blame
I wonder why, I never wonder why
The easiest things are so hard

I just want, I just want love
I just want, I just want love
I just want, I just want love
I just want something
Something for nothing
Something, something for nothing

I just want, I just want love
I just want, I just want love
I just want, I just want love
I just want, I just want love
I just want something
Something for nothing
Something, something for nothing

I'm a beggar and I'm a chooser
I'm accused, I'm an accuser
But nothing's unconditional
