Don’t Sit By The Phone For Me


Alvvays “Dreams Tonite”

Molly Rankin sings “Dreams Tonite” with a pleasant wispiness that serves the song very well, both in the way it renders the main melody and portrays a specific type of thoughtful, self-effacing introversion. She’s singing about a relationship that’s gone cold, but the real tension in the song is trying to interpret raw, visceral feelings through a practical, cerebral mindset. There’s two rhetorical questions posed at opposite ends of the song, and they seem to answer each other. First, “Who starts a fire just to let it go out?,” and then “Who builds a wall just to let it fall down?” Clearly, the walls are the problem here.

Buy it from Amazon.
