The Melmacs - "Lazy Hearts"

Just when I thought I couldn't possibly love The Melmacs any more, they're back with another new single that shoots straight to my heart. Now the band's fourth single released in advance of the forthcoming album EUPHANCHOLIA, "Lazy Hearts" is perhaps its purest pop song to date. It's a total earworm. I'm not sure it's humanly possible to create a song catchier than this one — this tune is like caffeine for the soul! You could be having the worst day ever, and then this song comes on, and suddenly your possibilities are endless and your hopes are bright. The band puts so much energy into this musical performance, and Bimmi sings every note with absolute joy. 

This song resonates with me because it's an anthem of encouragement to all those people out there who feel like failures because they haven't yet accomplished the things that society expects of them. But the twist is that they're not failures since they hold on to their dreams and cling to the belief that there has to be more to life than having lots of money and status. The band has dedicated this song to the "stamped daydreamers and true believers" who ultimately make this world a better place. So cheers to all the "lazy boys, all the lazy girls" with their hearts full of gold, and cheers to The Melmacs for making music that restores my faith in humanity. I've been playing this track on repeat and getting pumped for EUPHANCHOLIA, which will be out April 10th on Bakraufarfita Records & Wanda Records in Germany, Spaghetty Town Records in the USA, and Beluga Records in Sweden. I can't wait!
