You and Me: Things
This little song is just under three minutes long, but it may well improve your quality of life for hours (if not indefinitely). It is a childlike love duet, with very fragile and naturalistic vocals. The verse melody centers insistently around a single note which, combined with some clunky word setting ("a scribbled-in-note-pad"), heightens the delightful sense of naivete.
James and Naomi make excellent and subtle use of different textures, with skipping guitar lines, touches of glockenspiel, and more quiet percussion around the chorus. The song is as long as it needs to be, and is all-together very sweet without a hint of saccharine.
