Tim: Lead and title track off their second album; have a listen.
Tim: I’ll pre-empt your immediate concern by telling you that the video has an extra couple of minutes of music chucked in, mostly in the middle eight, to allow its thrilling plot to play out —
Tom: And its thrilling product placement. It does go on a bit in this version, though.
Tim: — though speaking of plot I’ve not the foggiest what that flickering blue video of him is all about, or if there’s any particular reason Brooklyn Beckham’s hanging around, but there you go. The extra bit’s interesting, actually, or at least the way it alters the track is – the main version is here, and somehow it doesn’t seem to end with anywhere near the same triumphant feeling that comes with the video version.
Tom: Huh. Which is odd, because the whole thing is pretty triumphant. Seriously: I’m impressed by this, they keep coming out with really good tracks for a boy-band. Is this McFly, 15 years on? They’ve supported them before, and I can see them having the same long-term appeal.
Tim: I think you’re very right – certainly, if they keep this up. I’m fairly sure the whole triumphant ending bit is because there’s not much of a middle eight, and in terms of mood or levels there’s not much to distinguish it from the second and final choruses that bookend it, whereas in the video the final chorus comes with a build leading into it.
Tom: And — more importantly — it has Busted jumps.
Tim: Always the most important part of a video.
