“VCR” is about simple, nostalgic, and cute love. VCRs, or videocassette recorders, were used throughout the 1980s and 1990s to watch and record video until the DVD was invented in 1995, making them nostalgic to kids born in the late ‘80s like all three members of The xx.
The track is one of the ban...
[Verse 1: Romy]
You, you used to have all the answers
And you, you still have them too
And we, we live half in the day time
And we, we live half at night
[Chorus: Romy]
Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know, you just do
[Verse 2: Oliver & Both]
Wanna find myself by the sea, in another's company by the sea
I wanna go out to the pier, I'm gonna dive and have no fear
'Cause you, you just know, you just do
[Chorus: Romy & Oliver]
Watch things on VCRs, with me and talk about big love
I think we're superstars, you say you think we are the best thing
But you, you just know, you just do
