Rather be by Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne

Oh, Woah, Ooh, ooh

We're a thousand miles from comfort, we have traveled land and sea
But as long as you are with me, there's no place I'd rather be
I would wait forever, exalted in the scene
As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat

With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We're different and the same, get you another name
Switch up the batteries

If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shake me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be

We set out on a mission to find our inner peace
Make it everlasting so nothing's incomplete
It's easy being with you, sacred simplicity
As long as we're together, there's no place I'd rather be

With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We're different and the same, get you another name
Switch up the batteries

If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shake me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be

When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be, yeah

Beeeeeeeeee, hooooooo oh
Be [x9]
Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah, yeah, yeah

If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shake me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be

When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

The song 'Rather be' is about being truly present with someone special, and enjoying the place and situation where u are at. The song is kind of a love song but it doesn't seem like one. The melody, the tempo and the backround music are perky and fresh, unlike in other common love songs. Most love songs are like pallads. Thats why I found this song very interesting and enjoyable.

I have been listening this song for so long and I still can't get enough of it. It's hard to get bored with this song. I think it's funny that a part of 'Rather be' was used in many tiktok memes earlier, but the song isn't still overplayed.

The song is made by Clean Bandit which is a British electric music band. I like that there has been used instrumental sounds in this song. A word "kyoto" was new for me, but apparently Kyoto is a city in Japan.

I have also been listening to this song for a long time and totally agree with you when you said that it's interesting and different from other love songs. Love songs don't always have to be so sad and serious. Instead they can be joyful and playful without worries about the future.

I listened this song a lot when I was younger. It always made me happy when I listened to it. I like the tempo of this song beacause it's so different compared to other love songs like you said. You wrote really good analysis of this song.
