Love letters
Love letters, all I see
On every day I read
The bits of yellow paper
And every day it shows
Inside a book of stamps
To tell you what I'm up to
And say just how I feel
You've got me writing
Love letters
I'll always write you
Love letters
You've got me writing
Love letters
I'll always write you
Love letters
From far across the sea
They fly from you to me
But still I get no sleep
Oh, my love, don't be mad
'Cause I'll keep on writing
Love letters
I'll keep on writing
Love letters
I'll keep on writing
Love letters
I'll keep on writing
Love letters
You've got me writing
Love letters
Love letters
Love letters
Love letters

(Love letters)
The song "Love Letters" by Metronomy is a beautiful and romantic song, with a catchy and simplistic chorus that repeats throughout the track. The lyrics speak of the act of writing love letters to a significant other, and how it is a daily habit for the singer. The yellow pieces of paper that are addressed from the significant other to the singer are symbolic of the love and affection between the two people, and their continuous communication of their feelings. The singer mentions that they get no sleep, likely due to their anxieties about the relationship, but they reassure their lover that they will continue to write these love letters to them.
Overall, the song is about the power, vulnerability, and beauty of communication in a relationship. The act of writing letters to a loved one is something that has been lost in our modern age with the advent of technology, but this song reminds us of the pure joy and intimacy that can be found in taking the time to sit down and pen our feelings for those we care about.

#loveletters Big fan of Gondry's work. Glad to see him do stuff again. He's been a huge inspiration in my work as a filmmaker. Hopefully we'll meet at some stage.
A few questions, How long did it take you to shoot this video? How many takes etc? and What was the budget for it? As I know budgets for bands have decreased considerably over the last decade so its more difficult to deliver a quality video that does not suffer in places.
And to Joseph, Anna, Oscar & Gbenga, keep it up. Really love your music. Would love to use a track or two on my upcoming feature film
Also, if you get a chance, take a look at the tease trailer of my first feature with an 18K budget.

The song and the video are awesome. I love how their songs don't all sound the same, but they still manage to retain the same signature style.
