Not all my short changes were long ago. This one happened in 2020.
It wasn't hard to short-change it, though. The song is less than two minutes long. How much can you say about a song by a drum/guitar duo that is so short?
A lot, actually.
The song is incredibly fast - Jack White fits a LOT of words - breathlessly at times, which give the song a desperate feeling - in those two minutes. Despite the frantic guitar and dense drumming, the vocals are the highlight of the song - the music is there for rhythm, with the guitar taking a rhythm guitar role, rather than lead.
Lyrically, it's somewhat beautiful, illustrating perfectly the feeling of falling in love, hard.
Also, about that video. It is mostly REALLY Lego bricks, purchased by Jack White. There is a small computer animated section of the video, but it's mostly really Lego bricks. Don't call them Legos. That's a brand.
This alternate interpretation of the song, from a live performance in Nova Scotia... I'm going to not focus on Jack, but on Meg White. She's got such subtly to her drumming - she doesn't get enough credit for that - but it certainly shows here.
