“Love Through the Window” brings an office romance to life in the form of a funk-pop song with bright guitars and a rhythm that gets your shoulders moving. The group known as The Oslo project sets its story between two adjacent workplaces, the woman on the street opposite becoming the focus of the narrator’s shifting attention.
The lively rhythm gives the song a sardonic kind of self-assurance, while the clear guitar lines keep the composition sharp and the pop voice carries the melody in a simple and charming way. There is a satisfying tension between the narrator’s distant admiration and the music, which seems as if it’s ready to walk over and make introductions.
Funk, Attraction, Daydreams
It is exactly this kind of energy which allows the typical work environment to operate. An afternoon spent at a desk becomes considerably more pleasant if the person sitting opposite you draws your attention. The Grey & Purple Songbook show the excitement caused by such a distraction through a lively and rhythmically paced song, the guitar playing and the vocal melodies giving the daydream a touch more confidence and momentum.
