The only way I could do this song justice is by quoting it in its entirety and leaving it at that.
Except I'm not allowed to do that, really, am I?
So am I only allowed to talk about the way the drums meander and fall, the way the keyboard sounds oh-so-Joy Division, the way it twists, twangs and builds, the way every. single. word. takes your breath away? It never stops, letting you fall over its oddly brilliant opening riff and then hitting you with a lyrical suckerpunch to the gut. It twinkles and shimmers like wax melting in the sun, like Darth Vader hanging fairy lights - sweet yet strangely creepy. It sends you spinning as you try and keep track of all those twists and then drops the floor from beneath your feet; Wrapping itself around you, pulling you further and further into its own distorted wonderland. Sharp and sweet. Cosy and cold. Rising and falling like so many rollercoasters. Building, building, building, and then...and then it drifts away, promising an earth-shattering ending and not delivering.
9/10
