    The Magnetic Fields is one of the few bands that could make albums with 50+ songs where most if not all the songs are good production and songwriting wise. The chorus on this song is just fantastic.

      Came here to say this. That chorus is just pure ear candy.

    This song has been melting my heart...I think that this is one of the very best Magnetic Fields records. I have had a few favorites on the album that I've been stuck on, but this one is my latest.

      You just never know with them!?
      I didn't even appreciate or really even like 69 love songs FOR YEARS and now there's at least a dozen songs in the bunch I couldn't live without.
      Like songs id deem essential

    Great to hear a touching tribute song to John Foxx. A great hero of mine. Well done.

    This must be about John Foxx? Merritt has done quite a few covers of other synth pioneers and I think their music had a big impact on him. Any song by one of my favourite musicians about one of my favourite musicians earns superlove.

      Edit - 'Anyone can change into a machine' - definitely a shout out to JF's 'I wan't to be a machine' (from back when he was in Ultravox!)

      Edit - Sorry for going all conspiracy theorist on this. Turns out a quick google solves the issue (yes it is)

      It definitely sounds like an affectioned homage to John Foxx (of the "Metamatic" period): even in the musical structure.

    • @guillemka
      @guillemka 7 лет назад

      Absolutely! There are other songs in the album with similar Foxx sound...

      Stephin's last great album was Partygoing with his other band Future Bible Heroes. :)

      it wasn't that good. not enough stephin's vocals.

    • @godlovespingpong7845
      @godlovespingpong7845 7 лет назад

      Ян Шляков Partygoing is fucking awesome and a classic. The instrumentation on that album is stellar.

    Merritt couldn't write a bad song if he tried.

    • @acrovader

      Have you heard ALL of his songs?

    • @unhommequidort6704
      @unhommequidort6704 7 лет назад +20

      Yes.

    • @EyeonAnkle
      @EyeonAnkle 7 лет назад +2

      This is the Best of the six songs he has released so far. I'm sorry but Stephin is not literally a God as most churches would have u believe. Have you not heard Tokyo a Go Go, Volcana, We are Having a Hootenanny, Punk Love, Goin' Back to the Country and Drink Nothing but Champagne ? And let us not forget the newest addition .... the its so0o0o bad its good. Be True to Your Bar.

    • @unhommequidort6704
      @unhommequidort6704 7 лет назад +8

      The comment is obviously meant to be taken as a hyperbole. Also, Tokyo A-Go-Go and Be True to Your Bar are amazing songs, Punk Love is an intentionally stupid song and as such quite charming I think (either way, it shouldn't count), and Drink Nothing but Champagne is a nice tune.

    Love both Merritt and Foxx body of work, but I can't help but to hear a tint of "Fastball - the way" while I listen to this.
    Oh God why?!

    The other 5 songs were a bit meh, but this is fab...so its got my hopes back up again. After the mediocre Bottom of the Sea I thought Merrit had lost "it", but maybe not.
