Song(s) of the Day # 4,197 Suede

 

                                                


                                                         'So young. So young'

Antidepressants, the slightly depressing new Suede album. 'Come down and disentegrate with me' Do I have to Brett. That doesn't sound like you anyway. It sounds like you've been possessed by the spirit pf Gary Numan from 1979. Are Friends Electric? Let me know either way. 

In second song he's running like a ribbon. Look at him go ! Then dancing wuth the Europeans. Wanting to belong to the road and the rail and being where death had no dominion. Nurse ! Strap that man down.

This is total bollocks ! I mean Suede were always daft. Bowie wannabes that lacked the man's class and ability to produce genuine transformative art.They did some truly great stuff. A long time ago! But Brett had swallowed the thesaurus this time round and no mistake.

Brett was on antudepressants and lying awake by track five. Trying to define his 'infinite space.'. Like Kenneth Williams . Risen from the dead and having a nervous breakdiwn. Well I guess we all have to pay the bills somehow.  

Every song, but every song seems to be an attempt to rewrite She Sells Sanctuary. There was  Broken Music For Broken People lurking lower down the list. But I'd given up in despair and put on. Sons & Fascination by then .

Keep taking the pills boys. Sleeping Pills. It's unkind but perhaps you do need them. There us no excuse for this. It will do well.
