Paul McCartney and Brian Wilson have both acknowledged the musical arms race that their bands were in from 1965-67, vying to stretch the boundaries of pop. It avoids mawkishness by opening with a deliberately contrary lyric (“I may not always love you”) before Carl Wilson’s angelic lead vocal tells us that only the prospect of stars falling from the sky could bring an end to their love. It is simultaneously a remarkably baroque pop song and a simple affirmation of love. The centrepiece of Pet Sounds, God Only Knows was apparently composed in 15 minutes by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher. On the opener, a cello and French horn give way to Gough’s acoustic guitar as he recalls meeting his girlfriend for the first time: “Remembering when I saw your face/ Shining my way, pure timing”. RVĭamon Gough’s early lo-fi EPs on the Twisted Nerve label he launched with Andy Votel had already made him a cult figure, but it was his debut album The Hour of the Bewilderbeast that really signalled Badly’s arrival. Sweeping strings, slap bass, a sax that felt like the height of sophistication in 1982 and even a talking bit it’s all archly staged in a song that seems to be as much about the idea of love – “the look” – than it is about an actual relationship. You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around,Like an opera condensed into three-and-a-half minutes of high drama, Martin Fry’s hit is perfectly constructed pop.
