Tim: Chapter two in our story of ‘young girls being slightly crap superheroes’ here, after chapter one last October.
Tim: Here’s a thing: I heard the intro line, but almost immediately got entirely immersed in the video and kind of let the music get relegated to the backing.
Tom: See, I opened it in a background tab and wasn’t massively sold on it — until that guitar solo in the middle eight.
Tim: It wasn’t until the very last line, “I’m gonna save the world if that’s okay,” that the song came back and it all matched up together. So then I listened again, and what a lovely track. Slightly melancholy vocals to start with, but damn, that chorus is something special. As is the instrumental buildup back to the final choruses.
Tom: Yep. It could start to be a minute or so shorter, I reckon, but you’re right: it all came together at the end.
Tim: All great, really, and nicely boosted by a few Superman references potted throughout the lyrics. Good work everybody.
