Tim: Erm, who?
Tom: They had one hit, in 1999. This was it.
Tim: Oh.
Tom: The teenage version of me might have fancied the lead singer a bit, although that might just be the current version of me fancying the lead singer a bit and projecting that backwards in time. I definitely liked the song back then, although I can’t remember if I ever saw the video.
Tom: Apart from that godawful spoken middle eight, of course. And the “Thelma and Louise” line, which implies some sort of mutual suicide pact.
Tim: Hmm. It’s another one that sounds like it could be straight out of High School Musical – a lovely happy vibe (minus, yeah, the Thelma and Louise bit), lots of singing and chirpiness, over-dramatising in the video, but no actual bite to it, especially at the end when it just starts drifting.
Tom: Actually, I think the only thing that really stands out from this, now I stop to analyse it, is that beautiful “you’re not alone” descant that pops up a few times. Apart from that, it’s a good girl-pop track. I guess.
Tim: Could do with a key change. Could definitely do with a key change.
Tom: I think I might have just accidentally killed off a piece of my childhood.
Tim: Oh well.
