P.S All deets on where you can buy the album, both digitally and physically are HERE. The lyric – “from the start I always knew, I’d come back, come back to you” The line – it really awakens your “Young Blood”. A cheesy line, and the one other lyric that I feel best sums up the album.
It’s amazing to see a lad who lives approximately 4.4 miles from my flat (thanks Google Maps!) doing this well, and making such a huge record. Hugh Burrows? Callum Grant? Okay, let’s just stick with Callum Burrows yeah? Not to get some, but just cos Cal is a Gent. You could interpret this song in a number of ways, but the way I see it, Callum has wrote one of the sweetest little love songs I’ve ever heard, and it’s about walking a girl home after a night out. Then we come to “ Carry Her Home“, a song for which Hugh Grant movies were designed. “ Come Back To You” and “ Wild Heart” (the FIFA one, if you’re wondering) keep the pace up, the woah ohs going, and the girls (and boys) screaming. “We’ll never be as young as we are now” – a line as simple as that. Callum explains it as “this is about when all my mates fucked off to Uni (sorry for swearing Mama Burrows!) and left me here on my own.” When I first heard the track back in Jan 2014, I, just like loads of late-teens around the country, had just gone through the same gut-wrenching times. “ As We Are Now” is the standout track on the album for me. Also, does anyone just think of that SUPER CREEPY guy in the supermarket everytime they hear “ I Want You“? No, just me? Okayyyy. Both huge songs, which I can totally imagine screaming along to at a festival after one too many mineral waters. “ Don’t Fail Me Now” and “ I Want You” follow in succession. Three tracks in, and you’ve already heard three of the catchiest, most resonant Indie-Pop tunes of the decade. Anyone who knows a bit about Saint will know every single word to this, and if you don’t, you’ll defo recognise the melody (from your secret late night ITV sessions/getting drunk in a field somewhere). “ Fall At Your Feet” is next up at track three. Top that with very relatable lyrics for anyone around their early twenties, and I think it’s fair to say – this could very easily become the anthem of today’s youth. Man, I first heard that hook about two years ago, and it still stands out for me as one of THE catchiest refrains ever. “If you like, if you like, I can make it if you like”. Massive choruses, insanely catchy melodies, and one or two moments that would make even the laddiest lad go “awh”. It takes about ten seconds on SAINT RAYMOND’s highly anticipated debut “ Young Blood” before you’re into the first anthemic woah-oh, and the second those audio waves hit your ears, you know you’re in for a treat.
