Safe and Sound

"Safe and Sound" is a song by American indie pop duo Capital Cities,
written and produced by band members Ryan Merchant and Sebu
Simonian. The song was released as a single on January 6, 2011. "Safe
and Sound" became the duo's breakout hit, peaking at number eight on the
United States Billboard Hot 100 and achieving commercial success in
several other territories. I really enjoy listening to this song. The beat and
tempo are enjoyable, and the meaning of the song is pretty good if you pay
close attention to the lyrics, saying that as long as youre with someone,
youll be safe and sound. I would recommend this song to anyone that
enjoys indie pop.

Capital Cities
Capital Cities is an American indie pop duo from Los Angeles, California,
formed in 2010 by Ryan Merchant (vocals, keyboard, guitar) and Sebu
Simonian (vocals, keyboard). Their debut EP was released on June 7,
2011, with lead single "Safe and Sound" which became their first top ten
single. The band currently consists of Ryan Merchant, Sebu Simonian,
Manny Quintero on bass guitar, Spencer Ludwig on trumpet, Nick Merwin
on guitar and Channing Holmes on drums. Their labels are Roc Nation,
Lazy Hooks and Capitol. After Merchant and Simonian on Craigslist after
responding for his ad on his production services, they started writing jingles
together for commercials and advertising campaigns, and after three years,
they decided to form the band Capital Cities. I like their music; you dont
really hear many indie songs on the radio, so this song is always
refreshing. I think its unique and fun to listen to.
