I feel that it’s timely I come across this video today. With the terribly gloomy weather as of late, I figure it’s becoming difficult for most people to even quirk out a smile. Random down pours of rain, and looming overcast skies, the “Curl up and die” weather doesn’t look like it’ll be letting up anytime soon. Much as I love this kind of hot chocolate weather, I’m finding it true that too much of one thing, can somehow be “bad”.

As the gloomy weather drags on, week after week and into our weekends, I’m starting to imagine what it would feel like to be living in London, and also why 2000 of its denizens decide to off themselves every year. So, as you’re learning your hang man’s knot, or fashioning your own bespoke guillotine out of wood, I’d like to present you with the “cheer me up” you so desperately need, in the form of Swedish band, I’m from Barcelona.

Serving as your own personal ray of sunshine, they offer up the kind of music, that in its very own Disney, Musical-like way makes you want to burst randomly into song. With the type of music that makes you want to sing Kumbaya by a roaring campfire, I’m from Barcelona is sure to keep you afloat well until the puddles dry.

And oh, the rest, if not all their songs, share the same sentiment, that perfect balance of cheerio and melancholic glee. So, do check their Myspace. Cheers.
