“London Girl” by Tumbler – A Song Review

Reviewer: Evan Morgan (https://twitter.com/evanmorgan808)

     Tumbler is a Pop/Folk act coming out of the UK that melds both styles together seamlessly – accessible, yet still on the fringe. As the third track on the full-length album “You Said,” “London Girl”is a prime example of such melding.

     The light, airy acoustics underscore the mood of melancholy that's instantly felt from the moment the opening verse rings out. There's a simple beat that drives the track forth, which, when combined with the assorted riffs and licks further establishes and cements that mood. The solo midway through adds depth and texture to the track as the melody and melancholy move forth. There's also a stark contrast at play here in terms of the bright sounds and somber lyrics, adding yet another layer to the track and the listening experience as a whole.

The Lyrics of “London Girl”

My London girl I’ll say it clear

She don’t eat burgers she don’t drink beer

She don’t come bowling don’t like my smoking

And when I’m snoring she moves elsewhere

My London girl despite it all

Believes we’re still compatible

And as for me emphatically

I think she’s beautiful

My London girl she loves the Queen

High toffs and Tories that kind of thing

And art and culture and the soaps besides

And fancy vegetables that ain’t been fried

My London girl likes different stuff

But still believes we’re good enough

And as for me why disagree?

I think she’s beautiful

My London girl like Tuesday’s child

Is full of grace and class and style

She’s good with flowers and with people too

She makes them smile yeah she makes them bloom

My London girl in honesty

Could do much better than one like me

I don’t know why but in her eyes

She thinks I’m beautiful

My London girl just one more thing

She’s musical so when I sing

It hurts her ears still she lets me be

And did I mention she cooks for me?

My London girl for all the world

You’d have to say is wonderful

And as for me emphatically

I think she’s beautiful

I think for me she’ll always be

Like London beautiful
