I find quite apropos that we’re getting such a sublime track about contemplating courtship on this pre-Valentine’s day weekend. The latest by Los Angeles Police Department, "Hard", the nom de plume of Ryan Pollie, was written in a period where Pollie was ruminating on what it means to be in love,especially when things are starting to get serious: how can it possibly be going so well, and when will it all turn bad. He’s addressing a very legitimate fear, though as he asserts himself in the song’s chamber arrangements, the best (and only way) to get through it is to try to set aside the psychological anguish and focus on what’s going well.
