Bohemians isn’t your typical love song. It’s not really about a lover per se, but more about just finding that special person who you form a bond with that goes beyond the immediate and superficial connection. Despite whatsoever flaws or imperfections they may have, you still feel the need to be around them and in the presence of their energy. It’s an ode to a deeper bond, one that transcends any negative history or past transgressions because you and the person in question just get each other. Written at a time when Drew was back in his childhood home, Bohemians does exude an energy of the past, invoking memories that you cherish with warmth.
Sonically, the track is a fairly straightforward piece of singer-songwriter indie pop. The chorus is booming and serene, the kind that makes you feel like you’re in an indie romantic movie. Emotion lies at the bedrock of Thomas’ work, and in Bohemians’ he’s able to create a universally relatable record. It’s a pure and heartfelt record that any indie fan will find soothing solace in.
