Song title: Overwhelmed
Artist: Mental As Anything
Year: 1989
Why I like this song:
I recently got a hold of the Mental As Anything album Cyclone Raymond.
This album has an interesting placement in the Mentals' history: It's their seventh and came at the end of a decade where they racked hit after hit. As such, one would think that the Mentals would be running out of puff. It is this reason, I believe, that Cyclone Raymond tends to get overlooked.
Don't know why though: I found Cyclone Raymond to be a fantastic album and easily among the Mentals' best. And the above song is one of Greedy's highpoints in his songwriting career (which is indeed saying a lot). Indeed, I recall hearing this when I was seven and thinking it leaving quite the impression on me.
Seems I was right all along.
