Green kicks off with a shiny little number. "Pop Song" delivers what it promises - cheery, poppy lines led by Pete's buoyant guitar riff throughout. The music serves the lyrics well as Michael sings about struggling to have meaningful conversation. It's easier to keep our chats bouncy and light, like the song: I think I can remember your name, should we talk about the weather? But underneath the poppy conversations, we may wonder if we have lost ourselves.
Musically, there are some gems that I really love on this tune. Dig the split-octave vocal doubling. Dig the handclaps on the bridge. But most off all, dig the fat seventies fuzz guitar on the three note break as the song is winding down.
I know you never knew that it could be so strange.
