In the best possible way, this song is rude. Rude in that my day might have been fine and uninterrupted. Until this. Wow - what ever did they do? Go on and have created a little fire in my heart that maybe hadn’t been tended to in a while. Using restraint with the delivery of the question - unison on the selected questioning chorus, then returning to a bare emotive vocal, intimate recognitions revealed - back to unison. It speaks to a real conversation had between two - lovers? Yeah, I’d think so.
Am I a lover? Of Saburnia, yes I am.
It reads churchy - the smiles. I mean. But if I was placed inside this church I’d be smiling too. Not afraid to feature the players and build towards a good old-school climax. Nowadays bands tend to play it so safe, adhering to a strict MAX ROCKERY or working within a limited level of smash. It’s cool to watch these guys fulfil all the corners and balloons within the song. Blow up the track. Take it where it wants to go. Don’t be limited by sticking to a song structure or keeping within the boundaries of whatever fences modern ears are familiar with. Yes, Saburnia, keep taking it there.
