You Me At Six - Stay With Me

A soaring anthem from second album 'Hold Me Down,' Stay With Me is today's song of the day. With guitar work that would make you weep, and vocals that live through every lyric of the song, it's just as suitable for a quiet night in with your music as it is for packed out festivals. (Speaking of festivals, Paramore fans our there may remember Hayley Williams dueting on this song at Reading Festival last year.) Josh Franceschi has the most amazing talent for making his words sound biting yet emotive, and in Stay With Me, it's an added bonus in a fantastic track.

You Me At Six - Contagious Chemistry

From their second album Hold Me Down, You Me At Six have shown that pop-punk isn't just for the faint hearted. The second album has an edge to it which lacks the self-consciousness of the first, and this is never better demonstrated than in this song. The melody it has to be said is a YMAS standard, but with a couple of very interesting twists - the end of the bridge for example is what I can only call a 'musical win'. The lyrics remonstrate with an ex-lover for a relationship which seems to have been a game of kiss and tell. 'This love is dirtier than you think,' the song warns, and I'd have to agree with that - Contagious Chemistry paints a picture of love when the rose tinted glasses lie shattered on the ground.
