in which correatown reminds me of sixteen candles

so, the first thing i thought when i heard further, an absolutely delightful song by correatown, was "OMG THIS IS SO SIXTEEN CANDLES."

you know. the gen-x classic from john hughes?

there's a musical line in the song that hovers at the edge of my nostalgia threshold and brings to mind the cake scene at the end of the movie. that's not to say that further is a straight-up rip-off, but rather elements of it are homages (intended or not) to awesome 80's style melodies.



correatown is the musical creation of angela correa along with mike corwin, jenni tarma and rob poynter. based out of the eastside of LA, the group brings to their music lo-fi sounds with choral, sweet vocals and melodies and choruses that threaten to become earworms. their music has been featured on several television series already (how i met your mother and grey's anatomy are a couple) and angela's voice has even served as jenna fischer's in walk hard: the dewey cox story.

in short, correatown is making highly likable music.

have a listen to further - i dare you to not be charmed.

if i can't let this go
i'm telling you,
i won't make it another year
if i go all the way
i'm telling you,
i can see all these things come in clear

'cause we have
so much love
but we need so much more
we have so much love
but we need so much more

if we go on like this
i'm telling you
we won't make it another year
but if we go all the way
i'm telling you
we'll finally see all these roads come in clear

'cause we have
so much love
but we need so much more
we have so much love
but we need so much more

we have a fascination with the darkness
although we're standing in light
we have the strongest sense of kindness
but still we can't treat ourselves right

we have so much love
but we need so much more
we have so much love
but we need so much more

we go further
we go further
we go further

we have so much love
but we need so much more
we have so much love
but we need so much more

we have a fascination with the darkness
although we're standing in light
we have the strongest sense of kindness
but still we can't treat ourselves right

we have so much love
but we need so much more

we go further
