Song title: Circle Square
Artist: Wonderstuff
Year: 1990
Why I like this song:
I have recently been listening to Wonder Stuff.
I knew the name from when I was a kid: The cover of Dizzy they did, with Vic Reeves, was doing some traction at the time but, as is often the case with a cover, eventually you need to have something of your own to say.
And with the Wonderstuff I have found that their music is a combination of goofiness and some snappy pop songs. And that certainly applies here: The violin suggest a jauntiness but the rest of the song seems more introspective. Especially that hook:
"I've been a long time disappointment to myself"
Somehow that line hits hard....
