One of the greatest Ringleader compositions: it’s urgent, driving and passionate, and masks the iffy production with some intriguing instrumental choices and a stunner of a vocal performance.
I adore the strings running throughout, especially that constant feedback drone that emerges throughout as a motive to keep moving.
It’s very cinematic, while the lyrics lean more towards complimenting a partner as they contrast severely with the destruction in the outside world: common themes on the album. And it makes sense: I sometimes tend to think of the LP as a film, and this races towards a cathartic climax, once Moz has left the mix and the instruments just keep the groove going. It’s excellent.
This is a real high point on the album, and counters some of the weaker songs that are interspersed throughout (also, is it just me, or is there a whiff of the Cure is Moz’s delivery, especially the chorus. I mean this in a good way coming from a big Cure fan. Interesting...)
8/10
