Faux by

I first heard this song on a Spotify daily mix and was totally absorbed. Never thought to check the lyrics until it got stuck in my head 😂

According to an article from thelineofbestfit.com, the duo stated that “[other songs of ours] are more immediate/obvious in their meaning than Faux, which has a deeper-rooted, less positive meaning”. Dumontdumont.com praised it for its “cryptic lyrics”.

So it’s a sad love song? Whatever the meaning, the turns of phrase are certainly fun to sing (though impossible to remember, at least for me) and the melody is beautiful.

Check out the original to hear some insane falsetto from Ed. Be glad I didn’t attempt that portion of the tune.

Cheers! -Timothy
