This track just does not belong on this album.

There's so much overlapping.

So many people writing their own songs, recording them, other people having hits with them...

It's exhausting.

I felt that was a very proficient album that, Lido apart, lost its momentum somewhat in the second half. Overall, I felt it was possibly a little too light and a little too polished for my liking.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited

I didn't enjoy any of that. But it was competently made ~~Daytime Radio 2 filler track~~ I guess, so
