I could swear there's also something to the melody...
---
Lost in a Lost World - the verse reminds me of The Man Who Would Be King a lot, but both the intro and the chorus (and, in fact, especially the pre-chorus) is a rather different beast. Again, the instrumental harmony reminds me of ... well, Writing, the previous track, and maybe something else (Afraid to Shoot Strangers? Vibe-wise?), but despite this all might seem like I'm damning the album for plagiarism or something, I'm actually enjoying it a lot. I really love hearing echoes of the past recontextualised and remade into something different... and the album as a whole is really different enough.
What I wanted to say probably is that the album feels more like reflection and reevaluation than regurgitation, if you know what I mean.
Oh, that solo section, loved that one. So smoothly transitioned.
Hey, now the last chorus... Ghost of the Navigator? Again, just gut feeling.
Overall like the track, but possibly the weakest so far from the first four.
And the outro is a nice touch. Much as I've been always reminding youse all that I'm not a Bruce fan, this very outro is really something that he did great and that would be different and probably worse with a different singer.
Also, I love he's not straining himself as he was on TFF.
