robyn hitchcock - YOU CRASH UPON A STAR

"..... ADVENTURE ROCKET SHIP !!!!"

This is like taking all the choice bits that make the Hitchcock tapestry so intriguing and then throwing them into a giant Vitamix and setting it all on high. The song still works but you got to wonder why .... I suppose it is quite convenient to churn out time and tested formula rather than create something with a little more heart.....

Still I like this tune even though its contrived. There are a lot of familiar hooks in here ripped off from other released songs. Its childish and obvious and a little overstated but as a Hitchcock song it works. I know it works WELL when i tend to play the song over and over again. Like so many of Hitch's tunes I have literally worn them out on my player from listening to them over and over again.

Cantu - 2007
