Imbued with tenderness and vulnerability, the lyrics of Movies convey, on the album version, a sense of empowerment and fun. They refer to a very specific dilemma: succumbing to the pressure of becoming the perfect partner, or staying true to yourself and ending a relationship that's running out of steam.*** Movies (Softest Version)***, on the other hand, evokes a sense of solitude that is absent from the original track. This new version was recorded with David Tanton, guitarist of Tender Spring and Afternoon Bike Ride. The soft melody and layered vocals of Movies (Softest Version) recall Milk & Bone’s identity in the duo’s early days.
