    The more I listen to this record, the more I'm convinced that it's one of the all-time great power pop debuts. Five of the songs are flat-out, fall down brilliant pop masterpieces and the other five are merely really really forking good. This is up there with the first Fountains of Wayne record in terms of instant mood enhancement.

    • @HaxorSerialKiller
      @HaxorSerialKiller 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      What five do you consider really good? Happy unhappy, Future me hates me, Not running, Little death, whatever?

    • @TripFontaine1976
      @TripFontaine1976 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@HaxorSerialKiller I put Great No One, Future Me, Whatever, & Happy Unhappy in the brilliant, little-hairs-stood-at-attention category with the fifth slot occupied by a rotation of the other six songs on the record. That lost spot is currently inhabited by Not Running, which rocks deliciously hard for a bunch of affable jazz students from NZ. I think what makes this album so special is you can make a convincing "best song" argument for any of them.

    The Beths
    "Happy Unhappy"
    I was higher than a biplane
    Then you hit me like a hurricane
    I bailed out, hit the ground
    Washed up in a storm drain
    Stumbled up the driveway
    With a handshake and a slow wave
    Now I'm crashed out on the couch
    Wondering if you feel the same
    'Cause you're in my brain taking up space I need
    For remembering pins and to take out the bins
    And that one particular film that that actor was in
    I see your face superimposed over everything
    It ain't right
    'Cause I was fine on my own
    Tolling steady like a dial tone
    Couldn’t you leave me?
    I was happy unhappy
    But now I'm overthrown
    Wish my heart were really made of stone
    And I could forget you
    Like I really want to
    I was living with your spare change
    In the pocket of your cutaways
    And I get so spent
    Waiting on your lunch break
    Broke every window pane
    So I can feel the cold rain
    When I lie in bed catching death
    Trying to wash it all away
    'Cause you're in my brain taking up space I need
    For delivering lies and suppressing the sighs
    And for navigating escape when I get lost in your eyes
    It's taking up all of my time just to keep it in line
    It ain't right
    'Cause I was fine on my own
    Tolling steady like a dial tone
    Couldn’t you leave me?
    I was happy unhappy
    But now I'm overthrown
    Wish my heart were really made of stone
    And I could forget you
    Like I really want to
    I was fine on my own
    Tolling steady like a dial tone
    Couldn’t you leave me?
    I was happy unhappy
    But now I'm overthrown
