Has a song about being jaded ever sounded so relaxing? The lyrics have an odd cadence at times, almost like Paul's just making them up as he goes. I'm not counting back through all the tracks on this album, but it feels like a lot of them had strings. They definitely add to many of the songs but sometimes I feel like I have string fatigue. However, would the tracks sound a bit less "weighty" without those violins or cellos or whatever? Overall this is a really nice tune and, as I maybe did for the previous record, here's my songs in order of preference (wonder what's at the bottom looooooool) 12 Against the sh... Sun 11 If You Won't Come to the Party 10 Five Million Years 9 Overgrown 8 Face 7 Paramount 6 Half of the Time 5 I Would Not Change a Thing 4 Reasons to Stay Indoors 3 The One that Got Away 2 Once Upon a Year 1 Fearlist Honestly, there's not much to choose between the top 8 and I like 9 and 10 as well. Maybe I only realized this now, but this could be Savoy's best album up to this point. I always felt it was the first record but, objectively, this collection of songs is of a more consistently high quality. Now, we move on to "Savoy" - in the words of the Bee Gees, this is where I came in. My first Savoy album. I have identified before, but my favourite Savoy track is on this record. It came between "Lifelines" and "Analogue", a-ha's most interesting music since the reformation in the late 90s. i think the "Savoy" apple didn't fall far from the tree.

Hey! I know this isn't the best place to comment on this, but it's been a while since you finished the "Beauty and the Beat" deep dive by the Go-Go's and I was wondering if you are still going to do a deep dive on their 3rd album "Talk Show" I'd love to hear your feedback on it and I think you'll enjoy it a lot!

This is a very enjoyable listen, though also not one of my favourites. A bit above the middle-of-the-road category, I should say, but not a top track for me. I love the sonics (those "space vibes" blended with acoustic guitar, as you pointed out), again I love Paul's voice (and also the "ethereal" effect used here), the strings... But, like Marjorie, I can't make anything out of the lyrics. 😅 I do find the line about the man in China funny ("Lower than a man in China jumping in the air"), though it only makes sense if you're on the opposite side of the globe. 😜 I see Lucca is being cute hidden from public view. 😻😸 But she couldn't miss a Savoy track, could she? 😉❤ I don't have a clue what comes next, waiting for Sir Graham's superior knowledge. 😁🙃

Hello. I am back. Darn it, your comment gets cut off. Here on my computer, it only goes to "I can't make...". I had to look on my phone and it's the whole comment there. What the heck? 🤷‍♀ Well, I am in agreement with you on this song for sure. Bawahaha...blaming Graham if anything weird happens next week. 😂

Jeez, Porl, just buy Lauren a Ladyshave and quit complaining! It was popular in the 1970s anyway, by all accounts...

I’ve no idea what is overgrown and what on earth a man from China had to do with it…I don’t think it’s vegetation he’s talking about! Joking apart though…I did actually like the sonic quality of this track. It’s just the lyrics that are a bit baffling…
