The Chainsmokers – Paris
The Chainsmokers have released new single “Paris.” It’s a subdued piece of EDM-pop, relying more on guitars than synths, but it’s still that signature ‘smokers MOR sound. And it’s their first song without a feature since 2015’s similarly city-themed “New York City,” but like that one, there’s an uncredited female vocalist on the track.
The song is actually about something very personal. Its about a friend of ours who struggled with a serious addiction and over the course of this lived in this fantasy world with his GF thinking life was great and they were just down for each other thinking they were living in this wonderful day dream of a life but in reality their lives were falling apart as well as the people around them. But the song in a more general sense is about those times when you are one place in one situation but imagine you are somewhere else. Like those times you were laying in bed staring at the ceiling dreaming up a different situation.
They released it with the lyric video, which is essential for absorbing the powerful imagery of lines like “You look so proud standing there with the flower and the cigarette / Posting pictures of yourself on the internet.” The song is about Paris, but the visual takes place on a beach with a supermodel because nothing makes sense in 2017.
