Songs We Love: The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, 'When I Dance With You'
Love in pop music is often painted in grandiose gestures, but sometimes it feels truest in just feeling "OK."
Sincerity plays a key role in powerful pop music — candor is the catalyst for connecting an artist with their listenership. For indie-pop purists , that's never been a problem. From the band's dreamiest shoegaze influences to its most lucid lyricism, The, that vulnerability has shifted away from its roots in the complexity of youth. Instead, Pains' idealism is grounded in real adult love, expressed in its most ordinary and fantastic way on the band's latest single, "When I Dance With You."
