Look, none of these tracks are bad, but there has to be one bring up the rear and, OMG, it’s this one. There’s nothing wrong with it at all but it sees Mike just seeming quite, well, content really, as he has a little look at social media while assessing a relationship. It was a perfectly fine track at the end of his final album Computers and Blues...
Likewise, I feel bad putting this - the only other single from Computers and Blues, which I absolutely assure you is a really good album - second last. Its chopped-up rock feel, complete with chorus sung by The Music’s Rob Harvey, who he would later collaborate with on The Dot, showed that Mike was still up for playing with new sonic landscapes. An...
Third album The Hardest Way to Make an Easy Livingsaw Skinner take the cliched banana skin of a third record - where the temptation is to make an album about life on the road and your new pop star existence with no relevance to your audience - and jump on it enthusiastically with both feet. The result was a record that was one of the best examples ...
Like on ‘Going Through Hell’, Skinner never had any fear of embracing different musical styles and this track comes across like something out of a twisted West End musical which somehow works, as Mike mulls over whether to spend eternity upstairs or downstairs. It showed that he was fully over his Hardest Way to Make an Easy Living breakdown, setti...
The last track on Everything is Borrowed, this was a gorgeous, woozy way to end the album, with Mike giving himself up to the metaphorical winds - “I’ll not feel no fear, cos’ I’m not really here, I’m nowhere near here”. Who hasn’t wished to just walk away from everything once in a while?
The final single from the amazing A Grand Don’t Come for Free which, in anyone else’s hands, could have been cloying and trite, Skinner somehow manages to perfectly observe the little minutiae of those glorious times when you can’t help but start falling for someone. And it showed that ITV canbe educational sometimes.
Yes, it’s basically ‘Fit But You Know It But Now You’re Famous So It’s A Bit Different’ but Skinner is such an entertaining storyteller that he drags you in. There’s some stellar lines in here - the sudden dawning realisation that you believed all the tabloid lies before you became the subject of them and of course, the unforgettable “Considering t...
Likewise, this was Skinner’s attempt at another ‘Dry Your Eyes’ - an unrepeatable trick - and yet, he pulled it off. It could have been cheesy - it is cheesy (something he himself admits) - and yet, as a tribute to his recently-passed father, it’s incredibly moving. The line “I forgot you left me behind to remind me of you” is brilliant, as is the ...
I mean, pretty much every track on Original Pirate Materialis amazing so even the ‘weakest’ single is brilliant. An essential tale of your mates looking out for you when you’re about to make an idiot of yourself in the love department. “Stop me if I’m wrong, stop me if I’m wrong”. You’re not wrong Calvin. As ever, you are right.
I love this song. Like so many Streets tracks, the cheap casio keyboards and royalty-free samples, added to Skinner’s honest vocals, somehow create something lo-fi, yet epic. This glorious philosophical track leaves you feeling thankful for life: “I came to this world with nothing, and I leave with nothing but love. Everything else is just borrowed...
