Grand Prix, 1995
Written by Gerard Love
I don't know much about this band, but I read that this song, written and sung by the bassist, is considered among their best. It's pure power pop, perfectly pleasant but to me nothing very special. The lyrics are a far-out blend of imagery evoking nostalgia and lost love. "I take a wrong direction / From a shooting star / In the love dimension / Fading fast from taking this too far." Why, this could be the Byrds in the 1960s! While it's a fine song, and the sort of thing I maybe ought to like, it doesn't do much for me.
