Let’s now kick back and take in Message to My Girl: the languid spine; the pulsing, bobbing bass; the layered keys; the final chorus’s clarion vocals and, indelibly, the melody – one of those pesky details lost on many a flailing pop composer these days. This is a great song, by a great band with a couple of gifted tunesmiths. The antipodean Lennon and McCartney? Perhaps – but more likely McCartney and McCartney, given their knack for hooks. Brilliant.
This song is absolute perfection. Even the video filmed in one continuous shot is an absolute gem.
