darius - "colourblind"
hey, darius wrote this! and i am honestly glad he did because it reveals an endearing belief in proper pop - proper in this case meaning a halfway point between pwl 80s gloss and... uncle kracker. chorus must be exactly one third more tuneful than the verse; transition between verse and chorus must be so smooth that it will eventually sound forced; middle-eight must perfectly set up double-powered, cathartic final chorus with a couple more layers of vocal. it works out quite well, even though darius is clearly fighting himself to sound less like an unfashionable white-soul hack (this will probably be number one on sunday - could it be people have missed this kind of schmaltzy voice??).
