MP3: The Welcome Committee - The Way You Look

“The Welcome Committee are with arms wide walking. They want you to feel welcome. They are those people at stations with signs. They hug, they do not shake hands.”

This guy/ these guys/ these guys and girls are sat in your living room, they probably your friends: you can’t quite remember how they got there, but you don’t remember much these days. They seem pretty content and your dog isn’t barking at them, and the cat seems pretty happy so you let them continue playing their melodramatic popular song. They recycle melodies in-order to avoid singing the same song twice- they always keep things fresh and new, new hardening or flinching.

“The Way You Look” is a sparky pop song, about ligers, waterfalls and climbing everest. Folky? Maybe. It sounds complicated, but it’s not: It’s pleasing, maybe because he’s singing using words I understand and appreciate. Apparently Elvis is in Liverpool. Or maybe Jamie (Mister The Welcome Committee) is just making a point? Point made, motion passed, sit back now.
