Swedish folk-pop duo Smith & Thell are back with the music video for the latest single to be taken from their debut album “Soulprints”.
The track titled “Toast” is an wholesome exhortation to all aspects of life — driven by hand-claps and cheery vocals.
It’s a single that’s quite personal. About it Maria Jane Smith said: “In the verses we sing to our pasts. The first verse I sing to my mother. I’m telling her that it’s time for me to move on and live for once in my life. I had been sad and miserable for such a long time, almost so long that it’s hard for me to understand that people can live without an underlying anxiety. The second verse Victor sings to his dad. Both our childhoods involved parents leaving us, both intentionally and unintentionally. In the chorus we toast to all the emotions in life.”
Lyrics:
Oh mamma, mamma, I’ve been sad most of my life
Since you left me, there is not much left to love
But I’ve been thinking, I think it’s time to cheer things up
Oh lover, lover, you taught me loads about this heart
Like why our ribs they look a lot like prison bars
But I’ve been thinking, I think it’s time to cheer things up in here
So let’s toast for all the bad times
Toast for all the hard nights
Toast for all the douch bags that’s been breaking our hearts
Toast for too much feelings
Toast for all our demons
Cause honey bunny, one day we’ll be gone
So we better toast
Oh papa, papa you I can’t just shake things of
But I see the lows now, as a trampoline straight up
Cause I’ve been thinking, I think it’s time to live for once
So let’s toast for all the bad times
Toast for all the hard nights
Toast for all the douch bags that’s been breaking our hearts
Toast for too much feelings
Toast for all our demons
Cause honey bunny, one day we’ll be gone
So we better toast
Toast for bad times
Toast for love
Toast for douch bags that’s been causing us this heartache
Toast for fathers that let you down
Then send you pictures of his new kids on your birthday
Pictures of his new kids on your birthday
Cheers for those!
