Calm Like You // The Last Shadow Puppets
Breathe.
Sometimes you need a friendly face to remind you that exams, as stressful as they may seem, are not the be all and end all of your life. Yeah, they are sure as stressful as hell, but will your life end because you got an A instead of an A*? No. The Last Shadow Puppets’ 2008 album track ‘Calm Like You’ provides a welcomed pat on the back; a much needed reminder to stay calm even in the most stressful of situations. While the track may depict a relationship that has failed due to the male protagonist’s inability to control his emotions, Alex Turner and Miles Kane portray a powerful message that is important to remember when it comes to the exam period (even if the pair may have not exactly intended this when they wrote the song): our best decisions are not made in haste.
So breathe, stay calm and listen to The Last Shadow Puppets.
