I'll Be Honest, i only Searched this song because I heard it on an Apple commercial.
It is an AMAZING song might I add. Normally I find super ridiculous music no one else likes or listens too. (makes me cool) and and very disappointed I didn't find this song before apple.
Bourgeois is a class distinction - like a gal in big sunglasses stepping out of a big car who doesn't see you. And Shangri-La is a fictional Utopia hidden away in a Tibet-like valley isolated from reality . . .
If you want to be someone, say something, make a difference - you don't want to be in a Bourgeois Shangri-La . . .
Great song, creative, but singer must not sing anymore.. her voice is just so irritating.. but hope she still write songs and play them... maybe hire a singer?
yo lol @ thru 2:02-2:42 those girls are REALLY and i mean REEEEAAAALLLLYYY are tryna hard to sound good..... but its a nice song real catchy ill be singin dis all day foreal
Well cell phone are for called people, so its wrong for them to record video of even play music, the world id just full of so many wrongs. who knows what will happen next! maybe Nikon will make a camera that I can text my friends on!!!! and I don't think recording video is the definition on reality.
Its like the the iphone it can now record videos, just like the ipod nano, it can play music just like the ipod. Wait another 2 years and the ipod nano will have a cell phone function in it lol.
i love every single time they play this song on the ipod nano comercial i would always try to hear what the song was called finally i figured it thank you! anyways what iw as trying to say was amazing song!!!!
I'm working on one for this song using Google pictures, and I promise, it will be funny. I just haven't had the time to finalize it on Windows movie maker, but I will try to finish it soon.
And I hear "Staycation and barbecue", Staycation makes sense after barbecue, because it is a cheap way of spending off time. She also says "I gotta get away", meaning the staycation is not enough.
Hence the bourgeois Shangri-La, which means a utopic paradise, a place described in Lost Horizon, a novel by James Hilton... You probably heard of Xanadu, another name of Chinese origin, but this one, related to a lavish home, as in the film Citizen Kane.
pretty good song
