disclosure | for the lovers

Just as Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" will forever remind me of Coachella 2013, Disclosure's "F For You" will do the same for this year's. And Mary J. Blige's surprise appearance during weekend 2 makes the song even more special. I remember jumping and screaming when Disclosure welcomed her onto the stage.

After we returned from Coachella, my friends and I could not stop listening to Disclosure and this song, in particular. "F For You" has the power to transport us back to the desert to which we make our annual pilgrimage in celebration of the holy music gods.

Following Mary J. Blige's guest appearance, Sam Smith walks on stage to sing "Latch" with Disclosure. "Latch" is one of the standout tracks from their Settle album. Smith's vocals complement Disclosure's beats to produce a beautiful confession of love.

The music video for "Latch" follows people lusting, coupling, and kissing, reflecting the affection and desire that Smith sings about. And the kissing! It's so beautiful. The kisses are the manifestation of their mutual desire - wanting to be closer to that special someone. When you're high on that lust/love, one kiss is never enough. A good kiss that is.

And kissing brings me to the next song: Disclosure "You & Me feat. Eliza Doolittle (Flume Remix)."

Now that's a KISS! 

The song and its accompanying music video remind me of that first kiss: the waiting, the eye-contact, the build-up, the desire, the flirting, and teasing all leading up to that first kiss with that special girl or dude. Once your lips finally lock, it can feel like it's just the two of you in the world. The video for the Flume remix of the Disclosure song perfectly imagines that scenario. In that moment of expressed passion, there really is only you and me.
