A song that talks about the tale of two lovers, the complex nature of their love, the heartbreaks and the condition under which such things occurred.

Now this track Betty and Steve is soo intriguing, captivating and mesmerizing with the way each element of sound is allowed to shine and keep the listener glued to the melodies and instrumentations. Well thanks to the engineer Martin Cooke who mixed the track beautifully. The track which comes as a snippet of their upcoming album, give listeners an experience like never before, ushering them into a year filled with thrills and amusement from Ubiquity Machine. What’s unique about this track is how it amazingly weaves together the complex nature of love & loss, mixed with human nature and glimpses of alternative folk elements yet an alt rock-pop masterpiece. The song then goes on to lay emphasis on Betty and Steve, who in a small town are experiencing the uncertainties of life and yet wants to experience love. Now as the song goes on, you realize how even tho one may be going through that hard phase in life but still wants that connection, affection and support from their someone they could lean on, and here lies the case where the other person is also experiencing the harsh nature of life as well, so now what becomes the two of you? Is life’s bad times gonna drain you two apart or is it gonna pull you together. And unfortunately for Betty and Steve, one was into it and the other wasn’t, now imagine the pain and the betrayal the other will feel. This is something most of us experience, when you give your all to someone even tho you may not be doing that well in life and yet they don’t see the value of it, it just breaks you, tear you and let’s you give up on love. The lyrics of the song then goes on tell how occupied both partners lives are and upon all this, they still managed it through and got married, thinking they loved each other, enjoyed each other’s company until they broke up. A part which leaves listeners in awe and let’s them reflect on their own experiences, then the chorus sets in and it all becomes clear with how one didn’t love the other and actually never loved them, capturing the painful truth about their whole love life and taking us to an era where genuine people get broken for loving wholly whiles to the others, it seemed like a fantasy they wanted to experience. Such a beauty of a track and a story to listen to.
