Tim: We described yesterday’s track as spacey; this is the Hubble telescope to yesterday’s amateur astronomer’s back yard.
Tom: Ooh, get you and your analogies.
Tom: That’s recorded off the radio! It’s like we’re all 90s and lo-fi again.
Tim: Ah, the olden days. Anyway, this is isn’t it?
Tom: It is, and I’m not sure I like it. Is she singing on any known scale during the verses? I’m not sure what those notes are.
Tim: Items of note:
It starts out a bit dreary, but then the chorus is instantly my favourite bit, as I suppose is kind of the point, and after it the verses sort of fade into oh-hurry-up-and-get-out-of-the-way territory.
Tom: Yes – I was ready to dismiss this entirely during the verses, but that chorus – with the full-on instrumentation – more or less makes up for it.
Tom: The bit that starts at two minutes reminds me of the Tron Legacy soundtrack, which is an excellent thing because that’s a fantastic soundtrack.
The ending is a bit sudden for my liking – yes, there’s technically the bit that says ‘here the end of it’ so it’s not totally unexpected, but that’s so disjointed from the rest of the song it might as well not be there.
Tom: On a second listen, it seemed to fit rather well. It’s an interesting one, this song; I do wish the verses were more like the chorus — but if they were, would it all be a bit too much?
