Tim: You remember Otto, or at least you’ll remember his work – Million Voices, that eh-eh-eh-eh-eh ah-ah-ah-ah-ah that was around for most of 2012. Earlier this year he had a hand in Dying For You, successful in Sweden. And here’s another!
Tim: Well, we’ve got another ah-ah-ah-ah-ah going on, but I don’t know if I want to criticise it for that because (a) it’s entirely different and (b) the rest is very good – the vocal chorus in particular is great, with the “it’s a long long way” section having a lovely melody.
Tom: It does, and it’s a melody that I’m sure I’m certain I’ve heard before, but I’m damned if I can remember where.
Tim: I had the exact same feeling, but can also not place it, so never mind. Second verse is good, building on the groundwork the first one did but beefed up a little, and quite where that middle eight came from I’ve no idea, but I do like.
Tom: Yes! This track seems… inoffensive. There’s nothing that particularly stands out for me, apart from that joyous exit from the middle eight, but there’s also nothing wrong with it.
Tim: Well, I could criticise the track by suggesting the first chorus is probably twice as long as it needs to be, because it does get a bit tiring by the end – on the other hand, I’ve no issues with this at all. Nice one.
