We headed west for to find ourselves some truth, ooh
What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
We counted all our reasons, excuses that we made
We found ourselves some treasure, and threw it all away
What you waiting for?
No, What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
No, What you waiting for?
When I dance alone, and the sun's beating down,
Blame it on me
When I lose control and the veil's overused,
Blame it on me
What you waiting for?
No, What you waiting for?
Caught in the tide of blossom, caught in the carnival
Your confidence forgotten, I see the gypsies rule
What you waiting for?
No, What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
No, What you waiting for?
When I dance alone, and the sun's beating down,
Blame it on me
When I lose control and the veil's overused,
Blame it on me
What you waiting for?
No, What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
No, What you waiting for?
When I dance alone, and the sun's beating down,
Blame it on me
When I lose control and the veil's overused,
Blame it on me
When I dance alone, I know I'll go
Blame it on me ooh
When I'll lose control, I know I'll go
Blame it on me ooh
What you waiting for?
No, What you waiting for?
What you waiting for?
No, What you waiting for?
Go away George Ezra.

Voice does not match the face. Or the age of the face. Enigma.
His wiki page has a useful explanation of how GE developed his vocal style
"A youthful obsession with Dylan prompted Ezra to seek out earlier American folk and blues artists. "Out of curiosity, I went to find how high I can jump off a cliff", he said. "That's when I found Lead Belly, Woody Guthrie and Howlin' Wolf." Ezra had heard a Lead Belly compilation and had simply tried to sing like him. "On the back of the record, it said his voice was so big, you had to turn your record player down", Ezra said. "I liked the idea of singing with a big voice, so I tried it, and I could."
I'm really enjoying this tune, too.
Go away George Ezra.
ouch
I kind of dig this guy's singing style and the song is solid enough, but I get the feeling that he's imitating someone else, which kills the enjoyment just a touch.
Old Milwaukee beets? Are they any good?
Can't be worse than the beer. I say this as someone who consumed more than my share of that swill in college. 33 cents a can, or half barrel for $30, as I recall.

Wait, this guy is from Hertford!
How did this ever get to sully the graces of RP??

Are you saying that his voice doesn't look like that, or that his face doesn't sound like that? Or that his voice doesn't look that old? Or are you wishing this was Enigma?
I think he's saying that he's got Rick Astley Syndrome.
Hmmm. never used the 'Sucko-Barfo' button before and it was quite satisfying.
This is about the most annoying song I have heard in years.
I'll blame everything on him.
It's even worse than that song by Vance Joy, you know the one....any of them.

Hmm, I had heard that they followed another band called Esra before they had an official name and were asked what their band name was and they said well we're better than those guys so... that is how they came up with the name. That had to be 10 years ago which would put this guy at 15 years old...
Actually, you wouldn't.
Unfortunately it was probably Amy Winehouse that started it.
I kinda agree....much too poppy for me

To what, your personal taste? Good luck with that.

Is it a beet thing?
Old Milwaukee beets? Are they any good?
Is it a beet thing?
I've drunk Old Milwaukee. Definitely not worth waiting for.

He kept the donkeys waiting. You know how impatient those Milwaukee donkeys can get.

Not my thoughts personally but describes it very well.
The song is about a relationship where one person wants it to advance in some way, while the other person is more hesitant. An important thing to notice in this song is tense. The verses are past tense. The pre-chorus is in present tense. The chorus is in future tense.
The first verse just describes them being interested in each other.
The first pre-chorus introduces the dilemma.
The second verse describes how they found love "Found ourselves some treasure" but her fear "threw it all away"
The pre-chorus now makes more sense.
The chorus says, very figuratively, that if things go wrong she can "blame it on me." "Dancing alone" = bad breakup / "Sun's beating down" = intense heat or fighting, bad breakup / "When I lose control" = if he messes up / "The veil's overused" = keeping secrets from each other, lose trust
The pre-chorus is repeated to remind her of the request and ground the song in the present
The third verse provides the clearest narrative. They found love "caught in the tide of blossom, caught in the carnival" but as things progressed "her confidence (is) forgotten"
Pre-choruses and choruses are repeated to continue his argument/plea and to fill in the rest of the time in the song
Are you saying that his voice doesn't look like that, or that his face doesn't sound like that? Or that his voice doesn't look that old? Or are you wishing this was Enigma?
It gets a couple listens from me.
He means well.
Nice melody.
Goofy percussion.
Blame the song on you? No. But I'm waiting for a better one.
Maybe the producer needs a new gig.

Sounds more like "Donkey waiting, donkey waiting" to me.
Thanks now that's all I can hear.

Sonos, no. Our app, yes — unless you're still using our old iPhone app. The current iOS & Android apps do have PSD. See here.

Not again. Annoying beyond comprehension. Please Bill, no more. How should I put this more subtlety? The worst track ever played, ever recorded, ever conceived. Please give me a few razor blades so I can slice my eyeballs which would be less painful than listening to this horrid, awful, hair curling track.
What the (four letter explicative) is this guy saying anyway? Over and over, and over, and over, and over.
Please, make it stop.
Thank you in advance.

???
Should be indexed for explicit language, shouldn't it?
Second listen: this guy is really good.
I had the same reaction seeing him on TV the other day.
???
BORING!
Sounds like a song "the black men" were singing in the cotton fields! Kinda...
and all songs sound the same?
Second listen: this guy is really good.

His new single here, Cassy O', is Godawful.

Just not convinced that George Ezra is the best example.
