Just an incredible rush of pure forward motion, so energetic, and joyous and slightly pissed-off at the same time; I imagine that's what the manic swing of a bipolar disorder would sound like.<BR/><BR/>Random thought: The sound at the bridge—that twinkling, whooshing, backwards horns-y kind of sound—reminds me oddly of some of Adrian Belew's experiments with the guitar synthesizer, and how brilliant it was when he would integrate these squalling blasts of noise into pristine pop structures, as on the first Bears record. Also, it sounds like an elephant made of Skittles and fireflies.<BR/><BR/>A thought perhaps not so random: In this song I hear what I always wished Talking Heads could sound like.Jack Feerickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06957899718721006732noreply@blogger.com
