February Song of the Month: Shut Up and Dance from Talking is Hard by Walk the Moon

It is safe to say that I am in love with this song. Every time I hear I can’t help but move. It is so groovy, cliché, and perfect. I really like the electronic sound. Walk the Moon might be seen by many as an overrated band but this song is not overrated. In the words of my father “really makes you want to Shut up and Dance”. It is very reminiscent of 80s pop and is a very fun song and always brightens my day. The lyrics are catchy and while I don’t think this song particularly strikes any chord within my heart, it is uplifting and has an extremely positive tone.

This song comes from Walk the Moon’s most recent album “Talking is Hard”. Walk the Moon is a is an American pop/indie rock band based in Cincinnati, Ohio. The band was found in 2008 by lead singer Nicholas Petricca.
