Little Numbers is a song performed by Boy, a German-Swiss duo singing in English, who I discovered through Anne Hodgson. The video clip for the song was filmed in Barcelona.
Self-study activity:
Watch the video and see how many different settings (places) come up in the video.
Waited for your call, for the moon
To release me from the longest afternoon
I’ve re-arranged parts of my living room
But time is hard to kill since I met you
Looking at the cars that drive on by
While spring is making promises outside
Red cars are quite rare I realize
Then I wonder which colour you like
Seven little numbers
Baby, they could be a start
Seven little numbers
Baby, I know yours by heart
Chorus: Oh, all the pretty things that we could be
Oh, I feel you in every heart beat
Oh, were you ever in a dream that could come true
These numbers could be lucky for you
Watch the sky change to a darkened blue
I can’t think of another thing to do
And every song just makes me think of you
Because the singer sounds as if she was longing,
As if she was longing, too
Seven little numbers
Baby, they could be a start
Seven little numbers
Baby, I know yours by heart
Seven little numbers
They could make a change
Seven little numbers
Make a fire out of this flame
Chorus
I read your name on every wall, on every wall – tell me
Is there a cure for me at all, for me at all – tell me
Chorus
