Opening with keys and Ben Johnston’s adventurous drums, it makes for a fun experience and you’re immediately able to tell that you’re in for a treat.
At the start, there is a sense of something looming, something scary, and dangerous; a perfect metaphor for a world without love. It also provides a pleasant buildup for the chorus where the song truly comes into its own.
Simon Neil’s vocals are simply stunning throughout. They're a testament to the band’s strength and timelessness, and get us ready for their tenth album.
Wrestling with what love puts people through, (“I can’t divorce you, you put me through Hell”), the song reminds you that, despite the harshness of the world, love will prevail. It’s a message that we all need reminding of lately, as demonstrated by the repetition of “with a little love”, which wraps the track up.
The whole song is a blissful joyride through Biffy’s best sound, a magnificent example of the journey they’ve been on for almost thirty years, and they’re showing no signs of stopping. If you’re lucky enough to have Biffy Clyro playing near you, go and catch them because it might be the best thing you do all year.
