Tim: Yes, just ‘Jim’ – we’ve previously featured his band Cars & Calories and been rather appreciative, and he’s his debut as, well, Jim.
Tim: And yesterday we had a great chorus, with the verses being good enough to hold the song together beyond those, and then more so; here, I’d say we’ve got a very similar thing.
Tom: I’m less sure on the verses on this, and even less on the somewhat-staccato lyric pacing that results in some bizarre emphases on phrases like “GPS”… but yes, that chorus is good.
Tim: It really comes into its own with that big drop, and I find that steady, unstoppable rhythm really brings some musical accompaniment to the “on & on” narrative of the lyrics. I also absolutely love the guitar melody in the chorus – that short falling riff linking the lines together, it’s a small thing but it just fits so well.
Tom: I was going to call that out too! You’re right, it’s such a simple counterpoint, but it works.
Tim: It’s wonderful.
