Some of my initial thoughts about "I Thought" ...
It’s both playful and melancholic, spiraling outward gaining more and more momentum and intensity with each verse. The surf guitar solo echoes the vibe of 'For Your Pleasure,' while carrying the epic simplicity of Eno’s synth break in ‘Virginia Plain’. The chorus teeters on the edge of a sea shanty, with two voices supportive, harmonizing/ reconciling in a way that feels both heartfelt and joyous. Fairground electronic sounds swell into a cacophony - like a fleet of sonic ice cream vans from an alternate universe… shifting the genre into John Ford territory…. The two silhouettes, side by side, fade into the golden hour.. disappearing through the sunset….. And beneath it all …the pulse of the camp bontempi organ … evidence of an ‘attitude’… the smile and wink of a shared sense of humour.
