Nothing beats the title track on this album, in my opinion. Simply a glorious song.

I like this so far, but I would also like to echo Observer's sentiments earlier.

Don't get me wrong the lyrics and the instruments are excellent. but they could try to spice up their sound a little bit. Hopefully there will be a a little twerk in their sound nest album.

Now that the coast is clear, I'm moving out of here. It's time to disappear - with you, . to where the skies are blue. I want you by my side, don't look so mystified. You know I said I'd always take yo, throw silver spoons across the waves to you. Back when it a, I was your highway man. Now I've got a different plan For yo, with the stars above down on love beach. I'm gonna make lov, on love beach Make all your dreams come true, on love beach Gonna make love to you, on love beach Gonna make your dreams come true, on love beach Gonna make love to you, on love beach...,

Entre Nous, what a wonderful song. and this song contains the very best of their poetic writing. I personally think this song is about people are connected to each other and how they interact with one another.

"We are secrets to each other
Each one's life a novel
No-one else has read.
Even joined in bonds of love,
We're linked to one another
By such slender threads."

This means that we all have different lives and everybody has different experiences and go through life differently. And no matter what you do, you will never thoroughly know another persons life. Also, even if you ave a strong connection to someone, your relations with them can be cut.


"We are planets to each other,
Drifting in our orbits
To a brief eclipse.
Each of us a world apart,
Alone and yet together,
Like two passing ships."

People are all different, other people's lives are so foreign it's like being on another planet. We only see a fraction of other people's lives it is about as rare as seeing an eclipse.


"We are strangers to each other,
Full of sliding panels,
An illusion show.
Acting well-rehearsed routines
Or playing from the heart?
It's hard for one to know."

Again, we don't know everything about other people. People have so many layers (like sliding panels) that most of the time we only see an illusion of who that person really is. We all have been taught how to act in public that we rarely show who we really are, and when people do, there is no way to tell if they are showing their true selves or another illusion.


"We are islands to each other,
Building hopeful bridges
On a troubled sea.
Some are burned or swept away,
Some we would not choose,
But we're not always free."

We are all separate beings, and have connections to people like bridges. And like bridges, connections can be destroyed. Some of those connections we are forced into (work, school, family, etc.) because we are forced into contact with these people.
