With a sudden start you get really involved in the depth of the sober and seductive lyrics of this song. The baseline is addictive and captures the listener at once, and then the song erupts into a hugely powerful chorus. There is an enchanting quality to the melody of this, almost of euphoric hymn-like proportions, which makes me think of epic Kate Bush-style dramatic pieces. And after this theatrical anthem has reached its peak, it ends as quickly as it started; great production.
Marina and her Diamonds just seems to be getting better and better; here, she proves she is more thank just another pop star. As good as 'Hollywood' is, I wondered whether this girl was going to be another one hit wonder, who we would expect too much from and yet again we would be let down. But if 'Rootless' is anything to go by, she is marking her place in the Industry and won't be moving for a while.
Check her out!
Also, I have rediscovered the sensation that is Skins series 1 :)
I'd forgotten how great Chris is.
