Dating is a minefield at the
best of times, but when the people you meet aren’t perhaps all that you thought
they were, the game gets a little more difficult. Husbands or Kids is not just the title
of the new single from Emma Moore, but seems to be the only two types of guy
she meets! Either looking for a bit of
extra fun or being so young that “He can’t even take me for a drink” Emma is
adamant that
I’m no tick off a list, or somebody’s side piece
The song is in a similar
style in some ways to Brandy Clark, telling stories about real life and how she
copes with it – in this case taking the almost mythical “option 3”
Emma describes it this way:
Sometimes as writers we can be drawn much more to the melancholy and reflective songs or ideas, where we think and feel deeply and poetically. I have to admit that’s where I feel the most comfortable when writing, but sometimes, even in moments of despair, you just have to laugh - and that’s where this track sits.
The bass driven verse
perhaps reflects the exasperation with the dating scene, the chorus and the
guitar break add a certain up-lifting side to the track, showing that while the
options may be limited, our storyteller will still press on and not settle for
option 1 or option 2 – she’s not given up just yet!
