I unironically quite like this.

Great pop tune and a deceptively great chord sequence. Written by 80s icon and snood-wearer Nik Kershaw.
Quite agree. I never knew that, though I dont know much of Kershaw's discography, what I've heard I really like.


Wouldn't It Be Good is a good one, some other decent stuff scattered here and there.

That's a fantastic song, the way it starts from the chorus to an unrelated chord sequence forming a wave and crashing back into the chorus again. Perfect.

Not the hippest song to admit a liking for but I think it's a great melody and good lyric.

Seems the place to chuck this on,

I was a latecomer to this song but it came on the radio in work today and it's amazing. Joyous chorus, fantastic harmonies, great track.

Hello,

Sorry, Tom, but a big bonfire is the place to chuck this on.

That song really could use some harmonica …
