This is the song on Skeleton Tree that tips it into brilliance. The hurried near spoken vocal narrative and then the o-o-o-oh o-o-o-oh background refrain, with simple wash of keyboard and clattering cutlery that had me on repeat play for hours.
My most played, most loved song of the year that’s not on one of my fave albums.
It’s a bit cod-reggae (a good thing, natch) a bit 1980s (another good thing), as catchy as fuck, and it’s Marilyn of all people. Marilyn! Heavens!
I doubt anyone’ll agree with me.
Think I’ll go for this. The video has something for everyone.
Of the year?
Probably this:
Whitney – No Matter Where We Go
Of the last month?
Metallica – Murder One
At the moment (or at least for the last couple of days)
Grace Petrie – Nobody Knows That I’m A Fraud
